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.

  • Mindblowing

    Brilliant movie. Completely surreal and unlike any other film. Could easily have been made by the likes of Bunuel or Dali. Highly recommended if you like the truly weird. AAAAA+

  • Hard to forget

    This is definitely the most disturbing film I have ever seen, but it's hard to say why. A must see film, but it will play on your mind for days afterwards.
