Review of Eraserhead (1977) by Film F — 12 Jul 2013

This could possibly be the weirdest movie I´ve ever seen. The only way to describe it is as a nightmare on screen. It´s really slow, and at times there are scenes were nothing really happens, taking you out from the story.

But when things are happening, the scenes are powerful and the atmosphere is intense. My problem with this movie is that nothing seems to make sense. You expect some kind of explanation at the end, but it gives you nothing, things just happen.

It´s intriguing, it´s creepy, and it has the shock factor, but it left me feeling disconcerted, and not in a possitive way. Maybe it´s worth a watch just for the experience, because I doubt there´s anything else like it.
