1997 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1997 is...
Lost Highway - David Lynch
Not generally considered a straight up horror movie (but then again what is?), Lynch's
Lost Highway is a complex nightmare-like trip that is filled with surreal imagery. Fans of Lynch's work (like I am) will be more attuned to his way of film-making, but for the uninitiated this could prove to be a bit heavy for an introduction to his work. At any rate it is a marvelous film, that I almost wished didn't have to end. Certainly an all-time favourite as well as my favourite for 1997.
