It’s a super film. Fear of reproduction, urban dystopia, death fantasies, how can you go wrong? Eraserhead is also notable because motifs that Lynch has used throughout his career begin to show through; the blond vs. dark haired woman, alternate worlds and disturbing familial problems.
25/100 [in traditional film terms]
HOWEVER, in terms of “how great was this awful, schlocky film?” I would have to give it a 8.5 out of 10.
It was no Troll: 2, but it did provide over-the-top acting, a slew of quotable one-liners and plenty of low-budget special effects.
I was 16 when I saw ‘Un Chien Andalou’. It was an incredibly liberating experience. I had never seen a film without a narrative before. I felt anything was possible within film and even tried to make some of my own as a result. It was also extremely fun showing the film to my friends and watching them squirm, haha.
