A LOST ROAD ON THE EDGE OF STRANGE…

L.A. jazz musician Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) and his wife (Patricia Arquette) start receiving mysterious VHS tapes that prove someone is watching them…

A film that has gained a cult reputation over the years, and there are things to appreciate, including Robert Blake as a nasty man with a white-painted face, Robert Loggia as a gangster who hates tailgaters, a few thrills and a music score that fits the film’s mood perfectly.

But David Lynch loses his way with a game of identities and a dull film noir pastiche where a woman leads the male protagonist astray.
