Donnie Darko gets a sequel with this Velvet Octopus production surrounding a road trip taken by Donnie's younger sister, Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase), during which she experiences many of the same visions that plagued her now-dead brother. True-crime cinema veteran Chris Fisher (Hillside Strangler, Nightstalker) helms the production, made without the participation of creator Richard Kelly.
