A neo-noir classic, campy, brutal, dark, twisted, non-sensical but has a very strong and active fan-base. The visuals are stunning, and also very haunting. I was 15 when I first watched this film, and frequently went back to it as a reference for visual media, films etc. If you take the super-natural themes aside (very hard) from the film, you see a very unwell teenage girl, who preys and is preyed upon. Its a very interesting troupe, and something that's quite shocking, especially to watch when you're a similar age. I think I have - maybe unfortunately - subjected upwards of 20 people to this film, and we are share a similar sentiment. What do you do in a small town in America in the 90's? Ask Laura Palmer

I knew going in that this film was a prequel to the original show, and that it answered some of the questions the first 2 seasons of the show couldn't answer. What I wasn't expecting was to have my mind, body, and soul transported into a realm that I am still reeling from. I had myself a good time, but only because I knew about half of the original show. I'm definitely going to finish it after watching this film.

One of the best David Lynch films, each time I watch it I see it from different perspectives. Incredible acting by Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee. It is the perfect prequel story to the television series.

Despite the fact that certain characters are missing or recast, this feels totally uncompromised and the product of a pure and unfiltered vision from Lynch. This started with the original show's final episode, continued here, and then was completed in The Return. Also -If you're a fan of the first two seasons and hate this movie then I'm sorry to say that you liked the wrong things about the show.

Haunting and bloodchilling. Movie is filled with Lynch's specific kind of storytelling, His signature intricate, hazy style is hinted which he mastered in his later works.

I don’t know how to rate this movie, so I’ll just give it 4 and a half stars. This was one of, if not the single most disturbing thing I have ever seen.

This the peak (no pun intended) example of how a movie ages over time. This is definitely top 5 most devistating endings of all time, and the film's themes and subject matter are more relevant today then ever. When this movie came out, it was a flop and some even called it "the worst movie of all time". I think its because the innocent audiences thought they would get any kind of closure for the shows cliff hanger ending, and were dissapointed when they got nothing. But I think this movie's true redemption happened when people started looking at its themes and subject matters.

I thought this movie was intense and had some wild scenes in it. The way the movie was filmed was very dreamlike and psychologically deep. I probably would not watch it again. It was a one and done type of movie. It dives deep into Lauras death and it was just very strange.

The movie is super strange and really intense, right from the start. It’s about Laura Palmer’s life leading up to her death, but the whole thing is so surreal and dreamlike that it’s hard to know what’s actually happening at times. The mystery is compelling, but there’s a lot of weirdness thrown in, like bizarre visions and creepy characters that don’t really get explained. The acting is solid, especially Sheryl Lee as Laura — you really feel for her character. The vibe is pretty dark and unsettling, with a sense of dread hanging over everything. It’s definitely a movie that makes you think and leaves you with more questions than answers, which can be frustrating but also intriguing. Overall, it’s a wild ride if you’re into atmospheric, mind-bending films.

Get ready to be traumatized, disturbed and possibly have mild PTSD after watching this film. If you love Twin Peaks, you will want to watch this but buckle up. There are some very dark parts while maintaining the same feel as the show. If you don't like Lynch's work, you will really really hate this one.

Absolutely shocking

In a town like Twin Peaks, no one is innocent. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a 1992 psychological horror film directed by David Lynch 👧 Can’t recommend it. Meh, it passed the time. Sort of. 😕 While I can appreciate the direction and style on display here, and I did enjoy the opening segment, the rest of the film is a hard long slog… In the questionable town of Deer Meadow, Washington, FBI Agent Desmond inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the more cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.

Fire Walk With Me is easily the best part of the entire Twin Peaks universe. It's cleverly done as a both prequel and sequel to the first two seasons, and it feels like one of David Lynch's first truly David Lynch films. It starts using the filmmaking techniques that Lynch would later master in his last few films, such as Lost Highway or Inland Empire. It's either horrifying or beautiful, and either way, every scene is a delight to the senses.

Films that change your life...

Loved Twin Peaks and glad he made this film of the prequel. Bit silly in parts. The Laura Palmer and Twin Peak character parts are all good.

If you are a Twin Peaks fan you may like this film. I didn't care for the series and don't care for the film.

10's across the board. Just as chilling and surreal as the best parts of the original series. It's really sad people didn't appreciate this incredible movie at first. We could've gotten even more twin peaks films!

art masterpiece, algorthim counter strike

This was one of the most artistic and moving movies I have ever seen. I don't understand that this movie does not have better reviews. David Lynch is a true artist. I have seen this movie five times. How Lynch uses symbols and darkness is incredible. Great movie is Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me.

The representation of the last 7 days of Laura Palmer's life, this is the prequel to the famous tv series and it divided critics and fans. In the first place, it's mandatory to say that it's not a chronicle but an allegory, so it's deliberately stylized and far less immersive and descriptive of the Pacific Northwest small-town America than the series and this because Laura is the epitome that once dead becomes the reference for everyone's projections, desires and inner ghosts, so in the series the focus is on what happens to the other people. Differently in the prequel Lynch chose to tell what was jealously kept secret in the series, and that's Laura's persona and how concretely she has determined the events that will affect every other character. Laura Palmer is such a powerful symbol, the sum of all possible feminine personifications and of all the wasp frailties whose parable is interesting because her escape from the abuses and the evil that runs in her family is the definitive ambition of her own cultural milieu that is devouring life along with all its excesses and, in other words, possessing everything for owning nothing. The movie has major limitations, among which the hurried writing of the screenplay (Lynch was given very little time to develop the new project) that mostly belittles the mystery aura of the story that was carefully untold in the series, then Sheryl Lee, who had a very hard task, struggles to be credible in this over the top acting, but also we have here some of the most approximative Lynch's images (the FBI oracle, the autopsy scene, the David Bowie's cameo, the Leland's abused car engine and the immediately following ready for use garage).
