So I finally gave it a shot. My reaction? Instant regret
What was the deal with those huge airships?

I know, that's why I gave it a shot, because I'm aware of the influence it's had on later TV series.
And yeah, I'm aware Duchovny has a role in it (pretty sure I've seen a picture), but I never got that far...
But like you say, to each their own. Lynch just isn't my cup of tea and I should stop trying.
Well, yes.
I completely read that as "the police were raiding Kevin Spacey".
Uhm, no. That's not how evidence works.
"With the exception of the mom (who has been in Game of Thrones, Prometheus, etc) I knew nothing of the other actors."
The father was also in Game of Thrones actually. I recognized his voice immediately, it's very characteristic. He's done a lot of other well-known stuff as well.
Personally I found The Babadook extremely bad, but hey, everyone's got an opinion, right? Hush was okay, but came off more of a thriller to me than horror. The Autopsy of Jane Doe, I don't know... Decent movie, but not much more.
I do agree about It Follows and The Witch though. I hate horror movies that rely on gore and jump-scares, it takes absolutely zero talent to make something like that. A creepy setting? Yes please. An eerie feeling? Sign me up.
Unfortunately people seem to want exactly those things I/we don't.
Gore can be a useful instrument at times, but movies that rely solely on that to scare you are worthless. Jump-scares are worthless in itself, and is basically the director's way of saying "I can't seem to create an eerie atmosphere, so here's some really loud music all of a sudden".
