The 100 Best Horror Films (Time Out London)

[David Morris]

I don't know Argento, but Lynch has deep and multi-layer substance.   "Blue
Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive" are both far more than sensation and mood.
 MD is like the journey of the newly dead through a labrynth of a shattered
mirror of memory and identity.  It takes many viewings to see coherence,
not that I've seen it enough for that.  But it has structure amidst it
disjointedness.
