If you loved Tape, try A Scanner Darkly
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What A Scanner Darkly is
Suburban sprawl scorches under a July sun, cicadas buzz above a shimmering vinyl lawn chair.
