The result was redirect to David N. Donihue. A redirect to the director's article--where the film is mentioned-- is suitable. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've found approximately two potential sources. One is an article by Pocket Gamer that looks to be heavily based on a press release. I'd consider it usable, but it's not the strongest source since it gives off such strong PR vibes. The second is evidence of a review by FilmCritic.com on Rotten Tomatoes. AFAIK, this seems to have been run by AMC, but the website is long since gone and I don't see where AMC archived the reviews, so I can't really verify much of anything about it. It looks like the Wayback Machine has the site archived, but I'm honestly not going to go through umpteen pages to try to find a review that may or may not have been archived. Even with that, it's one article and a review. I'm not certain if that's really enough to make this a firm enough keep for me. I think that this should be mentioned in the director's article (which could use some editing for the massive PR fluff tone such as "The comic book inspired picture went on to become a small cult classic and is now shown as part of curriculum at many of the world's best film schools"), as I think that's a decent alternate option.
