Rating:  - The realm of REM
Why use a lot of words to describe a motion picture that visualizes the subconscious? Suffice it to say that this is still David Lynch's best. An oneiric odyssey, the sort of troubling, never-ending dream one can have when suffering from a high fever, in which the most bizarre and seemingly hopeless situations nearly drive one to despair. So far, I've never seen another film evoking that sort of atmosphere so well. Strange yet familiar. Archetypal. ERASERHEAD is a unique work of art, a milestone ... Read More
Rating: - Disturbing Horror
Henry (Jack Nance) lives in a grim apartment in a Hellish industrial nightmare. When his peculiar girlfriend gives birth to his mutant lizard baby, Henry struggles to cope with the responsibilities of fatherhood.
Eraserhead is, without doubt, the most disturbing film I have ever seen. It's like watching your most intense bad dream on film. David Lynch has translated absolute discomfort and fear so vividly into a film that I don't ever want to watch it again. It's a film that you can't ... Read More
Rating: - not to everyone's taste
Saw another review on here and just felt compelled to write.
I am not going to review the film as such - just comment on something that David Lynch has been consistenly able to do in just about every film I have ever watched of his (besides, perhaps, the lyrical and generally just downright pleasant "Straight Story").

Rating: - Disturbing but thought provoking
First of all, let me say that Eraserhead is not a film for everyone. Many people will find themselves confused by the strange atmosphere, surreal imagery, and signature David Lynch sense of purposefully awkward pacing.
That out of the way, I would have to say that this is possibly one of my most personal favorite films. It is dark, tense, atmospheric, and filled with sounds and images that will send chills up your spine. It is a film that takes more than one viewing to truly begin to comprehend, ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliantly Weird
I remember watching this film about 15 years ago in which various images of the baby etc were seared into my subconsious. Watching it again recently it pulls you into a dark and disturbing place which takes a while to leave your system. A nightmarish film which you should watch not just because it is strange but at a different level teases your mind into various perceptions of reality. A film that shows an extreme of human abstract thought coupled with a dream-like reality. It seems to be an insight into madness. ... Read More
