This is the first (and only) movie by David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer Chambers Lynch, made back in 1993.

It is probably the most interesting concept for a movie I have ever heard: A guy becomes obsessed with this girl. She hates him, though, but after coming to his house to get something she forgot, she gets hit by a car. So, the guy, who is a doctor, amputates her legs and her arms and keeps her captive in his house in order to feel like she "needs" him.

When I found out what the movie was about, I was like holy shit, that ****ing rules. Plus, it's by Lynch's daughter. I gotta see this shit.

So, I just saw it today and after sitting through a very boring first 45 minutes, the movie was really good. The movie has gotten some horrible reviews, and is only rated a 3.8 or something on IMDB, but I didn't see what was so bad about it. It intrigued me. It's no David Lynch, but it was pretty good shit, although the ending pissed me the **** off.

It could have been done way, way better, having such a kickass premise, but it was done okay. I dunno, it's worth checking out if you're a movie buff kinda person.

The premise sounds a lot like Misery

Has anyone seen this movie? I saw it a few weeks ago and I must say this is one of the weirdest movies I haver ever seen. Its about this guy who has a crush on a girl so he basically stalks her. Well during one of his run ins with her she is hit by a truck and instead of taking her home he takes her to his house. Her legs are beat up so he cuts them off and then later on he eventually cuts her arms off so she cant fight back. This is honestly one of the weirdest movies out there and I was just wondering if anyone here has seen it and if they could give me there opinion of the movie.

If you really think about it from what the movie has its like soft core porn with a storyline.
