David Lynch's Blue Velvet offered a dangerous and creepy atmosphere throughout, but it was all alluring. Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth character was scarily insane, with his bizarre sexual demands and how often he used the F-word. Kyle MacLachlan played a boyish detective solving a small town mystery, is thrust into some erotic, dangerous and scary misadventures. Isabella Rossellini plays a desperate, kinky and enslaved temptress. Laura Dern's smalltown girlfriend character was very loving and beautiful; she brought lightness to the otherwise dark story. The technicolor medium used was vivid; making memorable the blue velvet ribbon, the yellow-suited man, and the red curtains. Music was used powerfully, from the haunting title song, to the Roy Orbison song performed by the spooky Dean Stockwell character in the late night den of sin. Angelo Badalamenti's score added menace to ordinary scenes. The plot raises many questions; not all is clear. I wondered how the bodies were relocated to the upstairs apartment. Some disturbing images still linger in my mind long after viewing. Lynch took a small town and opened up its cavities for us to see the disease within.

MCT:December 2, 2008Lynch presents an average small-town American suburb as a clean safe and happy place, then explores beneath the surface and reveals a dark horrible evil underworld. 'Blue Vlevet' is a bold piece of film making, presenting graphic nudity in a disturbing manner. The film has so much symbolism. The actors and brilliant, including MacLachlan, as the first innocent college-boy, Hopper as the evil distasteful Frank Booth, and Rossellini, as the tortured damsel.

Probably one of the greatest achievements in the history of American cinema, or cinema itself. A truly original masterpiece and one of the most distinctive and influential of all 1980s films.

Wonderful movie. Amazing, terrfying, disturbing and repulsive... yet unbelievably intriguing at the same time. I think I've watched the opening scene alone more than 100 times.

This is a fantastic film; a dark surrealist nightmare, and David Lynch's finest achievement. Goes on my top 10! It’s easy to see why this film is considered a dark masterpiece.
