Through the expert control of subdued and focused lighting, combined with underexposing black & white film stock, Lynch creates layers of atmosphere that transforms Eraserhead from a mere movie to a film that is on par with the expressionistic painter, Edvard Munch.

It could be about fatherhood responsibility, guilt for longing, extra marital affairs, suffocation, dreams of greener grass (even if that greener grass is deformed and cruel), or extensions of the self, the compulsion to kill these extentions (malfigures), or just plain weirdness for weirdness sake,...

The film is certainly intriguing and original, I don't think that can be doubted, but I think as a film in the conventional sense it's just too off-the-wall to prolong interest over its running length through interest about the plot.

Well here is an UN-conventional horror movie from David Lynch; his very first movie Eraserhead.

Lynch's infamous surrealistic film about a strange man with a strange haircut in a dark, industrialized world is most certainly one of the oddest movies ever made.

This is my least favourite of Lynch's films, for the simple fact that I never was interested in what little story there was. It didn't seem to go anywhere and for me to be invested in a film it has to be telling a story, one that I can understand, comprehend, or at the very least, try to look more into.
