Quick Hit

Eraserhead rips like a nasty horror play—nightmarish, oppressive, with zero interest in comforting you.

Full Take

Eraserhead leans hard into experimental horror energy, and David Lynch keeps the tone nightmarish without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.
