Review of Eraserhead (1977) by Conner R — 11 Feb 2011
I can easily say tat Eraserhead is one of the most fascinating science fiction movies ever made and certainly the most obtrusively bizarre. David Lynch gives a future to us that no one in their right mind would want to live in, being a warped 50s vision of a nuclear holocaust.
It's just a film experience like no other. I can't really compare it to any other movie because it's just so unique. Even calling it a science fiction movie feels wrong at times because it really contains all different kinds of genres.
Jack Nance is priceless, he gives the movie such an earnest personality that is part of the reason it is so amazing and convincing as having that 50s vibe. From dead fetuses getting slammed against the wall to chickens cumming blood, it's never stale or dull.
I think the fact that it is still untouched after all these is a true testament to the unique nature of the film. No movie has ever gone as far as this in terms of content and subjective imagery.
