Were you scared? I'll have to see it at some point but I'm terrified and it will probably be literally psychologically damaging for me.
A few years ago Lynch made several episodes of a fake sitcom called Rabbits - this plays a role in Inland Empire. Rabbits uses a single stationary camera on a single room with 3 people in rabbit suits (including Naomi Watts and the other woman from Mulholland Dr.) sitting on the couch and ironing and such. They utter lines out of order and out of context, the audience laughs for no reason, there's an awful rain and foghorns heard in the background, and it's easily the most terrifying [censored] thing I've ever seen.
I dread Inland Empire.

Exactly. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that Lynch simply has a particular sensibility that is definitively, well, scary.
Impossible to define, yes, but that's OK with me.
