Butterfly Effect, The

 

USA 2003, 113 minutes
Dir. Eric Bress, J Mackye Gruber
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Horror, Science Fiction, Suspense/Crime

Topics: Timewarp.

 

Aroview: A timewarping thriller with a touch of genuine B-movie originality, this portrays the unintended consequences when its young hero (Kutcher) discovers he can alter past events by reading aloud from a childhood diary.

Tipping at cult-movie status, this wisely abandons 'scientific' credibility for violence, black humour and teen psychologising, and it succeeded, despite a critical roasting, in becoming a 'sleeper' hit in the US. Between Kutcher's doomed, control-freak attempts to 'correct' the past and the extremely ugly family truths he discovers, this covers ground that will satiate many a ghoulish horror-fan.
