If you loved The Alphabet, try The Grandmother

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by David Lynch, and they both carry the dread, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Alphabet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Grandmother is

Bedroom floor. Night. A dripping faucet. A small boy escapes cruel parents via seed-packets and dark soil. An elderly caretaker soon sprouts, though her embrace is not quite what the child imagined. Early Lynch is not for all.
