Oh yeah. I just automatically associate the Scream mask to Scary Movie.
And yep, that's Dark City. That may be my favorite movie of all time, simply because of what the aliens were trying to accomplish, and the way they went about accomplishing it. Really cool concept, though you end up watching the whole movie before you realize what was actually going on. It goes from being a "pretty strange action movie" to a "really cool concept" in like the last 15 minutes.
Mostly what I liked about Matrix was that it IS so open ended. It leaves a lot of room for debate. You can't just watch it, talk about it for 5 minutes and then go home, you have to carry on 1 hour discussions about it over lunch. You could still make 2 or 3 pretty good theories on What The Hell Is Going On and support them with stuff from the movies.
