      Don’t click the youtube link in the post!! It’s dangerous, bizarre, creepy and simply will change your perception of reality!!
      (I’ll try to find more info about that Donnie Darko movie).

      Awesome list. Event Horizon and Pandorum are great hidden gems.

        Event Horizon scared the crap out of me. Saw it in the movie theaters. Haven’t seen it since.

    I decided to go the straight fiction route with a short piece I called “The Scavenger”. Enjoy!
