This film is based on a Twilight Zone episode but they definitely have expanded the scope of the story. The original episode, or what I remember about it, took place in a single room. It was more of a psychological drama with no detective work or lines about killing wives.

The additional stuff makes me nervous because Richard Kelly is probably films foremost pseudo-intellectual. His films seem like they have something going on but they are really just silly. Listening to the director's commentary of Donnie Darko really made me lose a lot of respect for the film. And then there was Southland Tales, a car crash of a movie. It's somehow watchable even though it's all over the place.
