Take A Clockwork Orange, Santa Sangre, eXitenZ, Shivers and Videodrome all together and you still won't be half as disturbed as you will be after seeing Eraserhead. The all time nightmare.
Women in particular do not like this film. One could say the movie takes a very misogynistic view, but it doesn't view men in any-the-better a light. We are all Henry and all women are Mary.
The first time I saw the film (as was the first time I saw Chain Saw Massacre) I was horrified while various people around the theater were laughing. The next time I saw it I was laughing while other first timers were horrified, but of course I had been transformed. That's what this movie, film, experience can do. It can change you. It's DEEP and you don't have to think about it. I once had a dream where I was at the Roxie theater watching the movie and I was in Black and White and the movie was in COLOR! I won't try to describe the movie. It was orginally described to me as inexplicable and that was a great set-up. But I will say that there is a joke(of some minutes in length)in the film that is possibly the greatest stretch or sequence of film ever shot, not to mention it being one of the funniest and at the same time most disturbing jokes ever. If you're ready, and you're not, treat yourself to something extra, extra special. You'll never be the same

LYNCH AT HIS MOST SURREAL
What can I say? I'd heard about this film for years but had never actually seen it. One day I was surprised to run across a copy of it in, of all places, the post library at Camp Casey, South Korea. Needless to say, I checked it out for the weekend. Even though I was a fan of Lynch's because of Blue Velvet (a whole 'nother story for another time), I wasn't exactly prepared for Eraserhead. It was 90 minutes of David Lynch at his most surreal and makes everything he's done since then seem quite tame if not almost normal. The real question is, why hasn't anybody released this B&W classic on DVD yet? Is Hollywood afraid of the therapy some viewers might require after watching it?

Family Nightmare
Mystery man living on a dark planet. Constant industrial noise. Dark, dank depressing atmosphere. Flickering lights. A bowl of water kept in a sock drawer. Scratchy records. The horrors of an unwanted family. Sexual awakening. Horrifying in-laws. Mechanical chickens. The brunette bad girl across the hall. Desire. The blonde good girl in the radiator. Deformed baby. Wailing baby. Stuck suitcases. Sick baby. Dancing poop. Squashing sperm/fetus dance. Dreams within dreams. Francis Bacon painting brought to life. Tyrannical bosses and inept employees. Severed heads that yield good erasers. Dead baby. Boy gets girl. Quintessential Lynch.

You know you love it.

I am sorry for the sentence fragments, but I thought it was true to the film's narrative style.

Does Eraserhead make sense?

Sure it does if you don't try to watch it like you would watch a TV show. The plot is presented in a completely original manner and if you break it down, you will see it has a deeply logical underlying order. It has a few red herrings and odd comic slapstick filler thrown in to further confuse those who are already confused as to life's true purposes.

This film is a masterpiece and is meant to be watched many times.
