About this product

Product Information

Director David Lynch's feature-film debut is a masterpiece of the macabre and grotesque. Reportedly a reaction to the news that he was about to become a father, Lynch's ERASERHEAD follows a sensitive young man as he struggles to cope with impending parenthood. Henry Spencer (Jack Nance) lives in a hopeless industrial landscape, lusting after the beautiful woman who lives in the apartment across the hall. After his girlfriend, Mary (Charlotte Stewart), informs him of her pregnancy, he is forced to eat dinner with her extremely odd family. The baby is eventually born, only it isn't a human baby at all; it's a deformed creature that resembles a lizard. The baby won't stop crying, a horrifyingly piercing wail that drives Mary insane. Left alone with the baby, Henry is serenaded by a woman who lives inside his radiator, and soon he decides to murder his baby in order to stop the nightmare once and for all. Five years in the making, ERASERHEAD contains all of the trademark attributes of a Lynch film--haunting visuals, an ethereal score, unsettling sound design, and, most notably, a black sense of humour--creating a world onscreen that is exhilarating, terrifying, and unique.

  • Intriguing.

    Typical Lynch, even stranger than when I first watched all those years ago, but something pulls you in & insists you you finish watching this movie, also find the sound effects used in film beyond fascinating, interesting extras on film also, not for everyone, but great value.

  • David Lynch's Best!!!

    Eraserhead is the first film David Lynch. It stars Jack Nance as Henry, a worker in an industrial hellscape who gets his girlfriend pregnant and is forced to look after the baby, which they are not even sure is human. The film is a bizarre nightmare which examines the fear of relationships and fatherhood. The dark black and white cinematography and the overwhelming industrial sound design create a film with a disturbing claustrophobic atmosphere, which when tied into the bizarre events and characters, creates a viewing experience that is not to be missed.
