similar to The Machinist? (spoiler??)


Was anyone else reminded of the dark, dreary, self loathing nature of The Machinist after watching this film? In both films the main character spends a great deal of time hallucinating a villain, or at least letting the viewer ponder if it's a hallucination or not. Both films are incredibly dark, using drab colours and deal with places that dont have sunlight and a strong mechanical sound in the background- subway vs. factory. Both main characters are dealing with the issue of sleep deprivation or at least uncomfortable sleeping situations. I could go on but I don't want to spoil either film for anyone.

I agree to the extent that I think you should have written “Spoiler” in your subject, because I think you will take a bit of the shock away from people who haven’t seen the film.

Please edit the subject if you can.

sorry i dont agree - a spoiler gives away the ending. by your definition a synopsis of a film is a spoiler too.
