A thoroughly hateful film. A bloated, amateurish, Sixth Form film project of an effort that should never have got past the morning after it was no doubt concocted by stoned people egging each other on, thinking they were creating great art. A pretentious, angering mess. This is what happens when film students watch David Lynch then don't bother to develop their tiny fraction of a half decent idea before traipsing out into the world and filming it.

Dreadful.
Didn't think it was that bad. Deeply flawed perhaps and very uneven, (as one previous poster noted it certainly tails off a bit in the second half) but to give it an out of 10 rating (which I normally hate doing) 5/10.

I watched the Dark star blu-ray last night. The carpenter cut, which is around 20 minutes shorter is a much better experience, I always liked the film but I did think it had a tendency to drag a little. The feature length making of is very good as well, though some of the interviews seem to be conducted over the phone!
