Blue Velvet (1986)

Written by David Lynch

“After finding a severed human ear in a field, a young man soon discovers a sinister underworld lying just beneath his idyllic suburban home town.”

A shocking and mysterious journey into the underbelly of middle america, Blue Velvet is a truly unique film. Kyle MacLachlan stars as the young man drawn into the dark world of  Frank Booth, played by Dennis Hopper in what is in my opinion the most frightening character ever portrayed on screen.

This film garnered critical acclaim and commercial success when it came out, but seems to be somewhat of a forgotten gem.

David Lynch wrote and directed this classic, which earned him his second Academy Award nomination for “Best Director.”

Overall Score: 8.5/10
