Dark City (1998) (original) (raw)

Upon awakening with a start in an icy bathtub in a strange room � with a woman's dead body inconveniently nearby � John Murdoch can't remember how he got there. With a police detective hot on his trail and a psychiatrist skulking around, Murdoch discovers that the key to his mystery is the presence of strange extraterrestrial creatures, the Strangers, who are experimenting with the memories of the humans in his city � from which there may be no escape. Ambitious sci-fi noir, with rich production design and a dense, Kafkaesque concept.
