Seven years after the events of the first film, Samantha Darko finds herself stranded in a small desert town after her car breaks down where she is plagued by bizarre visions telling of the universe's end. As a result, she must face her own demons, and in doing so, save the world and herself.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Richard Kelly, Donnie Darko's director, publicly disowned this film and refused involvement. The studio made it anyway.
This became a cautionary tale about studio-mandated sequels—proof that atmosphere can't be franchised without vision.
