Eraserhead

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A first-time father struggles to cope with an industrial world, a troubled relationship, and the relentless demands of caring for his unsettling newborn child. Surreal encounters and disturbing visions blur the line between everyday responsibility and nightmare.

My take

You may enjoy this if you appreciate challenging surreal horror, oppressive atmosphere, and dreamlike storytelling; Not for you if you need clear explanations, conventional plot progression, or an uplifting viewing experience.
