10 ‘Bad’ Horror Movies Everyone Gets Wrong

1. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Few shows can claim to be as important, or as groundbreaking as Twin Peaks was for its time. Its unequivocal strangeness captured the minds and hearts of millions - even if they didn't quite understand what was going on.

But despite the adoration that so many have for the series, its subsequent film adaptation has never fared so well. With many even going so far as to say it's the worst part of the Twin Peaks canon, which is strange when you consider the latter half of season two...

Analysis of the show aside though, Fire Walk With Me is a largely misunderstood film. On the surface, it's merely a prequel but it really should be viewed as its own separate entity.

Not only because it's in a completely different medium, but tonally and stylistically, it's a far cry from the show's 'soap-opera gone wrong' approach. It's also a callously cruel and deeply disturbing film, one that's anchored by a show-stopping performance by Sheryl Lee that really deserves to be seen and appreciated for the masterful work that it is.

Submerge yourself in its darkness and you'll definitely see what all the fuss is about.
