Synopsis / Plot: David Lynch's prequel to his cult television series "Twin Peaks" concerns the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer, whose plastic-wrapped corpse, found floating in a river, was the fulcrum for the television series. During the day, Laura is a top honors student at the local high school. By night, she is a sex-crazed cokehead, prostituting herself at a sleazy sex club to get money to feed her drug habit. Her race to oblivion is fueled by evil entity Bob, who has been sexually abusing her since she was a child. But Laura has an attack of conscience when she realizes that she is leading her best friend Donna down the same rocky road.

Critics' reviews

"In its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece"

Calum Marsh: Village Voice
"It’s like 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' directed by Michelangelo Antonioni"

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"At its best, it’s a dream within a dream, a nightmare in endlessly reflecting pop mirrors, a screen full of TV-movie sex and horror kitsch blowing up right in our faces."

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"The film appears to be an undifferentiated mess of story lines and hallucinations (...) Even Mr. Lynch's eccentric touches become boring"

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
