alobear | The Butterfly Effect review

When The Butterfly Effect came out in the cinema, I thought it sounded vaguely intriguing, but the reviews put me off and so I didn't go to see it. A few weeks ago, a colleague watched it and told me it was fantastic and that I should definitely see it, so I put it on my DVD rental list and bumped it to the top of the queue when Dave went away, because I knew he wouldn't be interested.

Today, I have learned that my colleague and I do not share the same taste in films. The Butterfly Effect is one of the most unpleasant films I've seen in a very, very long time, and now I don't want to go to bed...
