Talkie Zoo: DARK CITY

As nightmarish a movie as ever I've seen, Dark City fits the bill for sci-fi mind control and alien abductions. The set is surrealistic in every way as John Murdoch awakens in a strange hotel room, remembering nothing including his own name. He sets out to learn who he is and what his life has been. In the meantime, he's being sought as a vicious murderer even though he doesn't remember ever encountering the women that were murdered.

As the story goes on, more and more things are out of sync and he meets up with people who seem to be living the same nightmare. The woman he learns is his wife has been looking for him and seeking the help of the police. Twists and turns await around every corner. Murdoch remembers only one thing...a beach he visited as a child. So, he goes looking for that.

During his search, he notices that there is never any daylight. The city is always dark. He witnesses the buildings changing before his eyes. Then, he encounters a group of pale men that look as though they've had a Lipofuze treatment. A young boy is among them, and he appears the same. The mysteries continue to elude him until he meets and questions Dr. Schreber, an apparent mad scientist, who begins explaining everything to him.

Murdoch learns that everyone in the city is under the mind control of alien beings and it's his purpose in life to stop them before his mind is lost completely.
