In the folksy town of Deerfield, Wash., FBI Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) 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 (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the similarly cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.

Critics Consensus

For better or worse, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is every bit as strange and twisted as you'd expect from David Lynch.

David Lynch's prequel film, maligned upon its initial release, can now be seen as a hinge in his filmography - and a hint of what's to come.

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

There have always been two sides to Lynch: the inscrutable, demonic prankster and the rhapsodic dreamer. In Fire Walk With Me, he's at least trying to recover his poetic sincerity. If only his dreams weren't starting to look like reruns.

4/5

David Lynch’s Fire Walk With Me, the controversial part-prequel, part-sequel to Twin Peaks, is a chilling and enthralling journey towards inescapable tragedy.

not really sure what to rate this because it seems if you know the series then you will understand the film, i however didnt. it was so jumbled, random and confusing, it made no sense to me.

After Frost and Lynch's huge television success with the series Â´Twin PeaksÂ´, it was an obvious and logical move to make a theratical version about the unsettling and disturbing life of Laura Palmer, also depicting the darkness luring below the surface of it's citizen in the small town of Twin Peaks. Entering Lynch's obscure universe do require some thinking in order to solve the puzzle. It is a stand alone movie, but I highly recommend the audience to view the first two seasons of Twin Peaks because the story is complex and require some prerequisite knowledge about the interctions of the various characters. The third season should be viewed after completing aforementioned in my opinion. Can I now have a cup of coffee and a pie of cherry pie?

Crazy film in the Twin Peakes universe.

The film that ruined T.P., and goes to show that you never give Lynch complete creative control if you want a production to be anything other than a postmodern mess.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece. And certainly one of the best things to come out of Twin Peaks. The story of Laura Palmer is gripping and heartbreaking. And the story of Chet Desmond and his companion Sam attempting to solve the mystery of a murdered girl, although confusing, is gripping as well. I will not go into anymore detail, go do yourself a favor and watch this movie.
