If you like David Lynch at his wierdest. (spoilers)


This reminded me of David Lynch's more recent films such as Mulholland Dr. , Inland Empire, Lost Highway....films that start out with a relatively normal plot but at some point start becoming more and more surreal until the narrative is pretty much abandoned, giving way to a kind of dream logic where reality itself becomes disjointed...often following the perspective of the characters who are slipping out of sanity. I have talked to several friends who are Lynch fans and don't like these films as much as his earlier ones...I really love them because it makes things all the more disturbing when a narrative that you have begun to follow as normal and linear starts slipping away into insanity. I'm sure many people will hate this film (I'm suprised to only find one hateful post here) because many people feel "ripped off" or cheated when there is no logical resolution to the story and things are left completely open to interpretation...especially when things were so normal up to a certain point. Well, I had a great and disturbing experience watching this film because I knew nothing about it when I started watching and the rug was really pulled out from under me when things started to get incredibly f----- up and surreal.the director of this film knows how to use a low budget to his advantage and create a freaky freaky freaky atmosphere. If you like abstract and surreal films, this is really for you. If you like normal stuff only...stay far far away.

That is one h31l of a review, my man. I just finished watching it and dropped in on imdb to see what other people thought about it. The only improvement I can make to your post is "Me too."
