This movie that subverts logic is an exception in the Hollywood film market, which always makes every effort to make the audience understand even a trivial detail. In this movie full of mysteries, David Lynch cleverly and unobtrusively uses the principles of psychoanalysis to complete this masterpiece. Different from Hitchcock's straightforward quotation of Freud's psychoanalysis, "Monsters in the Night" makes the audience feel that it is consistent with psychoanalysis everywhere, but it is difficult to grasp where the coincidence lies. In "Doctor Edward", Hitchcock originally created a dream based on Freud's theory of unconsciousness, so it seemed too deliberate and straightforward. The anxiety and fear brought to the audience by "Monster Night Panic" is so real that it makes people feel that it is really a nightmare once experienced by David Lynch. Therefore, Lynch is much smarter than Hitchcock in the way of expressing psychological suspense.
However, David Lynch only presented a fragmented dream and reality without any comment on it. Therefore, whether it is the recurring mirrors in the film, the wooden house restored from the fire, or the mysterious video tape, Lynch leaves all these weird and obscure details to the audience to play with. This is exactly his brilliance. What he wants to express is actually very simple, but it leaves the audience with unlimited imagination.
