Blair witch is wicked scary. It perfectly captured the feeling of being in the woods at night. We used to live on the edge of some woods. I couldn’t watch this movie without locking all the doors.

All that was missing was the Cop who is a fascist and closet homosexual
Well, they did have the "fascist" Marine father who was a closeted homosexual, so...

I had to look up Dark City as I hadn’t seen it. Decent cast. Might try to get it from library
Did not like Blair Witch - AT ALL
The Bones TV series had a segment that reminded me of Blair. Good segment at a great series. I never saw it when it was on TV. Bought the DVD n watched all

“Galaxy Quest is the only one I have seen. And I only watched that to see Sigourney Weaver as a hot blonde.

Put me down as another Dark City fan. I didn’t realize it was a flop at the box office.

Dark City is a good movie, but arguably is just an enhanced episode of 'The Twilight Zone'.
It didn't have enough to draw in an audience to warrant a full movie.
To: T.B. Yoits
"It didn't have enough to draw in an audience to warrant a full movie." All I remember is that the Florida sun was hot that day, and the dollar movie theater was cool, and I came away being a little wow'ed. :)

Anything with a twist is “arguably” an enhanced episode of Twilight Zone. Just like The Matrix. Dark City just didn’t advertise well. It happens. Especially with smart movies, Hollywood has no idea how to advertise anything you’re supposed to think about after. The ads for Matrix were all about bullet-time. That brought them in. There’s no hook in Dark City, you pretty much have to no somebody who says “ignore the trailers, it’s what fanboys of the Matrix think the Matrix is, only better”, and then you watch it and you’re blown away.

"I thought I was the only person who had seen Dark City!" OK--you guys got me curious, so I watched it this afternoon.
You were correct--it is a very good movie.

The Matrix is so profoundly stupid. It has apparently been embraced as some sort of “trans” allegory.
