Jennifer Lynch (Boxing Helena) tries too hard to out-weird her dad, the illustrious David, and one of the lead actors (to name him would constitute a spoiler) tries too hard to be Dennis Hopper. A pair of FBI agents (Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond) is investigating the grisly murders of a vacationing family and a few others in a desolate town where two of the cops, by the way, take gleeful and sadistic delight in menacing tourists. It’s just so Lynchian! David’s movies contained violence, but also much more. This is just gory and brutal vivisectionist cinema, and hardly entertaining.
