A long long time ago, myself and a friend had travelled to the cinema with the express wish of going to see ‘Butterfly Effect’ – it wasn’t my choice, but as the last time we’d gone I’d got to see School of Rock I had to go with it, we never did get to see it and instead ended up watching Torque – which was a waste of time. Some 2 years later and I’ve finally managed to pick the DVD up cheap in my local shop, and was it worth the wait? Short answer – Kinda.

The butterfly effect. The phenomenon whereby a small change at one place in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere, e.g., a butterfly flapping its wings in Rio de Janeiro might change the weather in Chicago* I was a little dubious about this film. From some reason I had the warped misconception that this was actually some sort of horror film and had avoided it because of this. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this film is more in essence a psychological thriller which is fairly unpredictable and embroiled with twists and turns to ellude the audience and surprise you with each outcome.
