Experiment in Terror is an underrated neo-noir film that had a clear impact on some of David Lynch's most iconic films.
The Big Picture David Lynch has one of the most unmistakable stylistic fingerprints in modern cinema, with his influence being prevalent enough to warrant the word “Lynchian” in the Oxford English Dictionary .
There’s also the film’s setting, established at the tail end of the credits as Kelly drives past a plain sign directing her towards suburbs called Twin Peaks. This one is in what’s unmistakably San Francisco, instead of Washington state like Lynch’s. The killer’s name, Garland “Red” Lynch, quite possibly influenced that of Major Garland Briggs from Lynch’s series.
‘Experiment in Terror’ Is a Crucial Transition Between Both Classic and Modern Noirs Influential or not, Experiment in Terror is a picture that exists ahead of its time, helping bridge a gap between the classical noir of the previous few decades and the grittier, darker neo-noirs that would start popping up over the next few decades at the hands of filmmakers like The Coen Brothers, Michael Mann, and David Lynch.
David Lynch Draws From a Wide Pool of Inspiration Beyond Experiment in Terror, Lynch pulls from a diverse pool of cinematic inspirations, mostly classic Hollywood movies. Although Lynch’s filmography has essentially become synonymous with weirdness, the auteur’s work is also rife with spirituality, dream logic, eastern philosophy, and a rich collection of Hollywood and artistic references.
