    Early Lynch. Visually It's not particularly typical of Lynch's later work but you can see some influences. However the idea is typical of Lynch, a nightmare involving the Alphabet, had by his ex-wife's niece. It's not bad for a first film! I wonder if Hideo Nakata ever saw this f...( read more)ilm, possibly sometime before 1998!?

    Short film made VERY early in the career of David Lynch. Reportedly inspired by a child's nightmare, it's brilliantly and abstractly composed. I never would have guessed that mere letters could be so creepy. :)

    My favourite of Lynch's short films showing a young girl being tormented by the alphabet (rules).

    Artistic... I love the mind of David Lynch; very expressive. I think everyone should see this at least once. This short film is excellent.

    Please remember, you're dealing with the human form.

    Oh my God!!! Very freaky and weird, I can't believe this was made in 1968, David Lynch really has a twisted mind...

    A dream of a young girl that Lynch gave life to in the beginning of his film career.
