If you know David Lynch's work then this will be very familiar territory. A little too familiar in fact, this often comes across as a series of recycled or re-interpreted moments from Twin Peaks, not quite as effective the second time round. But, although it doesn't really work as a whole, there are more than enough individual scenes and excellent performances to keep you entertained. Dern is tremendously trashy and the ever reliable Defoe is particularly grotesque.

Amongst the shocking violence and black humour, highlights include a brilliant "head blown off with shotgun" moment that is worth the rental by itself.
