Eraserhead

i know its not a true horror but i think it deserves its place here.

This film is a complete mind****. ive never seen a movie like this before, i was deeply disturbed by some of the imagery that david lynch shows in this flick.
has anyone ever said to you that a movie is very wierd and disturbing and you watch it but it doesnt seem to be as wierd or as strange as you imagined. Well rest assured 'eraserhead' is a movie that will not dissapoint. I was depressed for half an hour after this film.
check it out his masterpiece!, David lynch is a genius

someone said on imdb:
First, it is not a movie. It is not a film.
It is a piece of art.
So don't even think of it as a movie. Don't recommend it as a movie. It doesn't work

i can understand that in many ways

I agree, i love the weirdness of this film, definetly has a marked effect on the viewer, its difficult to watch and leaves you feeling drained, which I believe was David Lynch's intention.

Love the scene in which the alien woman sings, beautiful, ripped off in the Fifth Element, also the dancing chickens and the demon baby, and the family, sh1t, i love it all.

Definitely a depressing psychological horror in my mind, absolutely horrifying atmospheric film. One of my favourites, the sound is just as creepy too.

All of them are weird in one way or another, except maybe The Straight Story, which is worth the look.

Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Elephant Man, Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet are all worth watching.

Eraserhead is one of his most weird films though to me.

I agree , all of his films are weird and often quite frightening, particularly, Wild At Heart and Blue Velvet, they are not horror but are very dark and disturbing, Dennis Hopper and Willem Defoe play psychotic characters.

Lost Highway made absolutely no sense to me, can anyone explain it?

The Elephant Man and the Straight Story are his most mainstream and straighforward films, both are very moving, however I think The Elephant Man is one of his best films.

I saw like 20-30 minutes of this film and thought is was far too disturbing to finish. It's one of the only effective horror films I have seen, but would never watch it again. Far too sick for my liking.

It didn't disturb me, the sounds of the industrial town did though.

I think it was inspird by David Lynch's own fears about having a child.

I don't think it's that 'weird', most of it is straightforward, The only oddly placed scene is that scene that actually inspires the title.

Pretty interesting film though.

What I mean when I say it's not that 'weird' is that these events are easily interpreted- they aren't inscrutably surreal or anything.

I guess compared to most movies it's a weird film.
