Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me - Blu Ray Review

Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me Blu Ray

Rating: R18
Released by Madman

It's been nearly 20 years since the series Twin Peaks made such an impact on the Cult TV scene.

And it's been equally as long since the filmic prequel from David Lynch confused the hell out of everyone and offered up no answers to what happened after the end of his wonderful TV series.

This flick details the 7 days before Sheryl Lee's Laura Palmer showed up, dead, beaten and wrapped in plastic in a small American town, seething in secrets and lies - as well as hideous darkness.

In theory the story of a good girl, who is a Prom Queen and who dates the school quarterback, gone bad shouldn't really surprise. But throw into that mix, the master of surreal David Lynch and you're set for a medley of the weird with lashings of dark seedy underbelly exposed for all to see.

The Blu Ray conversion looks great and the film's lost none of its weirdness - but there's a frustration that some 20 years on, the only extras thrown onto the disc is the original press kit from the film. Shame, there's no doco looking at the cultural impact of the series - but maybe this way, they keep protecting the mystique of the show.
