Eraserhead Movie Review

Eraserhead is a 1977 horror film directed by David Lynch. Eraserhead follows the character of Henry played by Jack Nance. It is set in a dystopian city filled with factories and industrial buildings. Henry learns that his girlfriend Mary had a child and that he is the father. The child they have together is a mutated creature that they both must care for and attend to. Other interesting individuals make their way in and out of Henry’s life throughout this film and very often, the viewer is pulled out of any kind of linear plot that is taking place and submerged into fantastical dream-like sequences. This film was David Lynch’s first full-length feature.
