A couple living in a striking modernist home in the Hollywood Hills are unsettled by a cryptic message delivered over the intercom, and the appearance of a mysterious VHS tape on their porch. Lynch further mines his interest in the ambivalence and violence that lurks in everyday life. From the iconic opening shot of a dark stretch of road at night, accompanied by David Bowie’s haunting vocals, you’re guaranteed to be rapt by this dark journey into the deepest recesses of the psyche.
