The Tod is killed shortly thereafter, as is a kindly farmer who stopped to help but who is accidentally shot in the face with a shotgun. One character complains that “the flies in my head… keep on buzzing… feels like smoke” before they tip over a garbage can looking for food and after they break a terrarium filled with rats as they escape from a laboratory.

Better known for nonsensical live-action work including Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, FTP name this director of Twin Peaks.ANSWER: David Lynch17.
