He's about the only character who uses profanity but he makes up for the others by using the f-word in about every sentence. The language in this film was surprisingly tame.until Hopper enters the scene. Make no mistake, though: as bizarre as this film can get, it's mostly a very suspenseful crime story that can get very uncomfortable to watch at times. Stockwell's lip-synching to an old Roy Orbison song is really freaky. In a movie that features strange characters, the strangest scene of them - and there are a number - is in Booth's apartment with Dean Stockwell and his friends. Kyle MacLaclan is good as the nosy late-teen who just has to find out what is going on in Dorothy's apartment while girlfriend Laura Dern gets caught up in his curiosity. Almost as bizarre as him is the female victim in here, "Dorothy Vallens," played a mysterious Isabella Rossellini. The latter is known for playing psychotic killers and this role tops them all. This movie has one of the most evil characters ever put on screen: "Frank Booth," played by Dennis Hopper.
