Skip it unless you're a David Lynch devotee willing to surrender three hours to deliberately impenetrable surrealism—this is a grueling, deliberately confusing experimental film that prioritizes artistic opacity over actual thrills or scares. If you want horror, mystery, or drama that actually *communicates* with you, watch literally anything else tonight.

Plot

When actress Nikki Grace gets the lead role in a cursed film, her world becomes more and more surreal, blending realities and ideas of infidelity, reincarnation, and supernatural forces.

Director: David Lynch

Cast: Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton, Karolina Gruszka
