Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

You won't be disappointed!

Very disappointing...

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Eraserhead is one of those films I stumbled across on DVD many years ago, and knew little about, although was intrigued by the DVD cover with its green Eraserhead wording below which there was a black & white image showing the face of a male with quite abit of hair on top of his head. There was something raw punk about the vibes being emitted. At the time, the name David Lynch was unknown to me.My first attempt to watch Eraserhead ended in failure. The footage was black & white, there didn't appear to be any dialogue, and what I was experiencing failed to hold my interest. Less than ten minutes into the film, I stopped watching. It felt raw, almost home made, not quite.Later I would go on and see The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, Inland Empire, and became a bit of a follower of Lynch films. I've just finished watching Twin Peaks series 3. Today I decided to give Eraserhead another chance after all these years, if only to see how David Lynch started out.As a story, I'm not so sure there is one. There is a male named Henry who lives with his girlfriend, and there is a small creature without arms that is looked after like a baby. The creature cries, requires feeding, becomes ill. Henry is left with the creature as his girlfriend wants some time out. The bedroom in which most of the story takes place feels dark depressing, as are the industrial sounds that play throughout. Henry has a fascination with a radiator, behind which/inside which a strange looking woman with large cheeks exists on a small stage. Henry has a nightmare at one point which explains the title Eraserhead. Henry has a neighbour that is more attractive that his girlfriend. What does all this mean? I don't know. Eraserhead succeeds in taking the viewer to a place of foreboding doom, gloom, strangeness, that they'll probably want to escape from.How is it possible to IMDb rate? 10/10 is not an option. Neither is 1/10Given Eraserhead is pre CGI, the SFX people did a good job building a believable little creature. Less can be said for Henry's head during his nightmare. I wonder if Lynch ever wanted to do a Lucas and Cgi improve Henry's head?

I had never seen this until it came on Turner Classic Movies. Classic? What a joke. TCM needs to get this as far away from their library of movies as possible. This did not have one redeemable quality. Slow, boring, nothing to like about any of the characters. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! Horrible movie.

Good thing newly-weds don't see this surreal gem, otherwise we'd be seriously under-populated. Just who is that cosmic welder who turns out squirming sperm that keep turning up in strange places, like a marital bed. And what about that squid-like thing wrapped in swaddling clothes, a mutant of a mutant.Then there's that strange form of birth control—a sweet puffy-cheeked blonde who loves to sing while stomping on the wiggle warts. No wonder Henry goes around in a deadpan daze. And what about his classy neighborhood. It's an industrial heck, noisy enough to turn brains to mush, with more ugly metal than a junk yard, and enough gloom to rival a black hole. Good thing our puffy-cheek blonde promises a better place somewhere above, like heaven. But please, I shudder to think of Lynch's land beyond the Pearly Gates. Of course, all this is seen through a glass very, very darkly. Meanwhile, I'll break out my DVD when some literal-minded obsessive needs a dose of compelling imagination, like Lynch's.

I've wanted to watch this film for many years due to it's cult status and recently had the opportunity to give it a look see. I've sat through some pretty strange movies in my time, but this is easily the weirdest and most bizarre one I have ever seen. I wasn't able to complete it in one sitting - I had to watch it over a couple of days.There will be no attempt here to interpret the movie - that would be a pointless endeavor. There are others who have given their own understanding of ERASERHEAD - if you have an interest, they are easy to find. David Lynch has said that none of them come close to the truth.The movie is a very bleak, disconcerting, gritty, abstract, disturbing, surreal "horror" film about a young man who gets a woman pregnant, resulting in their marriage and the birth of a child with issues (to put it lightly). The plot is very loose from there. Very little dialog is spoken throughout but be prepared for a lot of very off the wall, sometimes unsettling imagery and scenes that don't make a lot of sense. Surely they are there for a reason, but it is beyond me what they represent.The soundtrack to the movie is also quite jarring and just added another level of discomfort throughout. I'm sure some people get it, but I just didn't. That's not to say that a fan of artsy, surreal horror wouldn't like it, I just found it way too odd for my taste. If you are into interpreting art movies and don't mind the horror element and some seriously disturbing imagery, go for it. If you are a fan of straightforward horror, you really need to skip this one - it will make you crazy. I wouldn't recommend watching this film on any kind of hallucinogens - consider yourself warned.
