Returner is a blend of Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys, Steven Spielberg’s E.T, and The Wachowski’s The Matrix. If you take into consideration the fact that time travel is something of a tired subgenre of science fiction, then you’re probably thinking Returner sounds like a bad movie.

Blade Runner Original Soundtrack – Translucent Red Vinyl REVIEW
“Painful to live in fear isn’t it? Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch!” “Oh, I agree!” “Wake up.
