Donnie Darko was every emo scenester’s wet dream when it came out in 2001. It was disturbing and creepy and laden with enough philosophy to make your head explode, but still managed to amaze almost everyone who saw it. It’s biggest problem, however, were the drones of black eyeshadow-wearing teens obsessively quoting Gary Jules’ depressing cover of Tears for Fears’ under appreciated Mad World, leading everyone without a passing familiarity of early eighties new wave rock to believe that Jules was in fact the original artist.

The trailer for its sequel, S. Darko, which has appended to it the ridiculous “A Donnie Darko Tale,” has hit the internets over at Bloody-Disgusting today, and while it’s comprised mainly of footage from the original and close up shots of an eyeball, the appearance of Frank in an uber-eerie scene at the end makes it worth a look.

The plot as per B-D: Directed by Chris Fisher, the story picks up seven years after the first film (and Donnie’s death) when little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions.

Giant bug movies are usually more comfortable on the Science Fiction channel and playing only at ungodly hours of the night, but Infestation, the comedy/horror flick written and directed by Kyle Rankin of Project Greenlight fame looks. fucking. hysterical. and. awesome.

From the website: Our hero, Cooper, awakes to find himself nauseous, weak and covered in webbing, hanging from the ceiling of an office where, just minutes ago, he started his new job. As he struggles out of his slimy prison he comes face to face with his opponent – a grotesque, powerful and very angry bug. All 3 ft of it.

And so begins a hideous, nail-biting, comedic, all-action adventure to find a safe haven while constantly outwitting an infestation of monstrous proportions. As Cooper embarks on his journey, he befriends a ragtag group of survivors including Sara, a feisty attractive female. Although the situation is dire, Cooper can’t help himself from trying to solve his dating problem while trying to save his life.

Will they make it to safety before they are picked off one by one? And what other surprises are in store for our group of unlikely heroes?

Is it weird that the first thing that came to mind when viewing this trailer was this picture:

Spider rape is no laughing matter.
