Absurd, incomprehensible, and, at times, rather excruciating. I know Lynch is famous for the surreal, dream-like environments he conjures up in his films, but I'm yet to really see the brilliance in his work. Eraserhead, for me, is definitely not where it's found.

You are now entering David Lynch's mind. Please hold. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Both a fan of David Lynch's work and considering myself a movie buff, I always had Eraserhead in my must watch list. And then I watched it and did not like it one bit. It is not that it is obscure, nor that it is horrific at times, because again there are plenty of such films I consider personal favourites.

I think it is that my mind cannot comprehend that such an accomplished director could take 5 of his most productive years to create such an incoherent and agonizing film I had to go through.

this was pretty impressive. and way better (and disturbing) than i expected. it's not only a remarkable surrealist piece of art, is, as well as his following movies, a study of human mind, of the bizarre. there is no limit for Lynch's geniality and, lord, it's only his first movie.

Disturbing, the only thing came close for making me this sick is watching Requiem For A Dream. I'm not sure about clicking the become a fan button because I wouldn't watch it again, though I believe it is worthy for a 5 star rate because of its originality and other-worldly-ness.

What can I say on this film? I focused on the scene and felt unease for the entire movie, I'll always remember the last scene. Forever etched in my mind. Thanks a lot, Lynch

Not what I was expecting, slightly disappointed.

I take it that mr. Lynch doesn't want babies, nor is he really a Christian and probably has weird dreams. Eraserhead cheered me up immensely. It was full of laughs with awkward moments with our hero Henry, obscure imagery, weird moments and everything that you would expect from a Lynch movie. Most of it is even pretty graspable which is not so Lynch-like, but Few WTFs/minute gives this movie a lot of rewatch value.

Being a fan of Eraserhead, does not automatically make you a fan of Lynch. There are elements of Eraserhead in all his movies, but nothing remotely like it. ever. I can't even say that I like Eraserhead very much, and really don't NEED to see it. But at the time when I saw it, it changed my life and perception of what a film could be.

not only lynch's best film, but his only good one. if david lynch had retired from directing after making eraserhead, his would have been maybe the greatest directing career of all time.

I'm not going to even try to interpret what I just saw, but its a work of art and an experience watching it. Lynch has got a unique vision, one that I don't think anyone ever can duplicate. Wow is all I can really say.

I watched because a friend had told me it was a disturbing film. Perhaps my friend hyped it up for me too much, but I found this movie as a disappointment. I was not disturbed and I only thought the baby's cries were a terrible annoyance.

Um perfeito à bizarria. Sobreviveu bem ao tempo e continua actual, talvez porque a acção não se passa no futuro, mas sim num qualquer universo paralelo.

I haven't done too much deep thinking aboutthis film, but what I really admire about it is its dreamlike quality. It feels like having a nightmare with your eyes open.

Awesome. Can see tons of themes here that are consistent in his films from this point onward. Now I need to read and see what everyone THOUGHT it was about. As a parent I had to laugh about the weird "baby" in the film. Fascinating.

This is a great example of "mood for mood's sake". Accept the narrative for what it is and move on. The last thing Lynch probably wants you to do is make it the primary focus. The images/sound design are what make the film so beautiful.
