David Lynch's prequel to his cult television series "Twin Peaks" concerns the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), whose plastic-wrapped corpse, found floating in a river, was the fulcrum for the television series. During the day in the town of Twin Peaks, 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 her father, Leland (Ray Wise), who, as his alter ego Bob (Frank Silva), has been sexually abusing Laura since she was a child. But Laura has an attack of conscience when she realizes that she is leading her best friend Donna (Moira Kelly) down the same rocky road. Leland, however, discovers Laura's nocturnal debauchery when, during a business trip out-of-town, his mistress for a sexual tryst sets him up with his own daughter. In a fit of jealous rage, Leland follows Laura as she travels to a sex party in an abandoned railroad car. Consumed by insatiable longing, Leland transforms himself into Bob, with tragic results for Laura and her friends. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

After the TV series ended, Twin Peaks creator David Lynch took to the silver screen for the prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. New Line has made sure that this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer looks very well rendered. All of the color schemes and black levels appear very vibrant and solid. No imperfections of any kind are spotted anytime during this film. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, DTS, and Dolby 2.0 (in French). The DTS and Dolby 5.1 soundtracks are very full and bombastic, utilizing surround sounds through the front and rear speakers during many of the key scenes. All aspects of the dialogue, effects, and music are very clear and concise. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. This version of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me includes only two extra features which may disappoint die-hard fans. The first is a half hour "Making Of" documentary that includes interviews with cast members, and the second a theatrical trailer for the film presented in anamorphic widescreen. While this edition of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me could have been a bit more expansive, fans should be happy to finally have this film on DVD. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
