do you guys consider lynch a horror filmmaker? i love all his movies, and most of them certainly have horror elements, but i think inland empire is the only one i consider a horror movie.

I think they’re a different genre with horror elements. I guess it depends on what someone’s definition of horror is

that’s how i think of it too. it’s a common misconception among many psychological filmmakers. i think of most of his films as dramas/thrillers with mystery/horror tendencies.

I agree 100%. I think the university I attended offered a course on David Lynch films. I would’ve loved to hear some of the conversations in that class.
