That’s what the Twin Peaks movie is about
The mysterious murder of the young prostitute Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley) in the small American town of Deer Meadow calls the FBI into action. The Agents Chester Desmond (Chris Isaac) and Sam Stanley (Kiefer Sutherland) are assigned to investigate the case, but Desmond disappears without a trace during the investigation, whereupon Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) takes its place.
A year after the events, the seventeen-year-old student Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the small town of Twin Peaks increasingly finds themselves in a vortex of drugs, sex and nightmares that lead them further and further into the abyss.
Evil forces appear to be at work and to be related to the original case.
Twin Peaks: The Movie is that good
Twin Peaks, the last one with Twin Peaks: The Return was continued, continues to fascinate today and after a good three decades has not lost any of its importance. In the FILMSTARTS review there was a film adaptation of the prequel story, which is now also known in this country under the original English title Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Excellent 4.5 out of 5 stars rating.
Despite bad omens during production, including the opening boos mentioned at the beginning, the crazy mystery drama is no less demanding than the other Lynch films, it says. Likewise, the film does not lack the eerie, mystical nature of his work.
