To paraphrase from the (far) lesser 1990 film Crazy People: “This movie won’t just scare you. It will [mess] you up for life.” Thirty years later, David Lynch’s thrilling neo-noir tale of evil in suburban America – with breakthrough roles for MacLachlan and Rosselini – retains its shock value. Having barely broken even on its release, it’s now on pretty much every best-ever list and in pretty much every film lover’s library.
