May be the greatest debut by an American director after Citizen Kane.” - Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid.

“Nerds in space. Mutant babies. Domestic derangement. Radiator ladies. Inexplicable seizures. Enigmatic orifices. Weird routines. The hardcore bizarre and ineffably beautiful. Awesome… one must also hear it… the soundscape of Eraserhead opened a vast new dimension.” - Nathan Lee, The Village Voice.

David Lynch’s Eraserhead is a dream of dark and troubling things telling of a man named Henry, who lives surrounded by an industrial otherworld, who is thrust into a horrific nightmare when his wife gives birth to a monstrous mutant child.

A nightmare vision of love, sex, parenthood, and the nuclear family, rendered in remarkably textured black-and-white images and startling, unsettling sound. It has become an enduring classic of both the cult and “culturally significant” varieties.
