A total David Lynch rip off !!!


When a film has a very earie look en feel and when you hear a lot of strange sounds with odd characters, people tend to speak out the "L"-word. But this movie goes all the way with stealing from Lynch. The main character is just nobody else than Fred Madison (Lost Highway) and the souddesign/music could have been easily taken from Angelo Badalamenti.

This director is a fraud!

I'm not sure I agree with you,because the works of David Lynch are better, more complex and more interesting than this.This movie is just a little strange surrealist horror.just that.

I disagree that this is a David Lynch 'rip off'. Nothing in it reminded me of any Lynch film.

With regards to the claims of 'rip off' director, i think that what makes any artist or director great- is their establishment of their own unique style that may show some influences but is not full of obvious homages or rip offs of other techniques or scenes. With regards to this,Lemming's director is far too derivative and immature. I hope someday to see a film that is uniquely his own.

This is a simple movie, not at all like Lynch's movies!

reply

Wrong!!!

This movie actually has structure and the director does not feel restrained by basic concepts such as start,middle and end like Lynch.

The director, Dominik Moll makes little or no effort to disguise the fact that he is referencing David Lynch's 'Lost Highway'- he even names the characters in the movie after 'Lost Highway' characters & actors. Lemming's an open tribute/ unofficial sequel to 'Lost Highway', not a rip-off. You may not like the film, but the director has not made any effort to hide David Lynch's influence.
