Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - One of cinema's most original and certainly weirdest directors in the world, David Lynch is a filmmaker who makes films that are often filled with surrealism and an eerie view into the world he is surrounded by. Yet, before he would make such...

mvie mu-1006679: I want me some Eraserhead

Thu, 5 Apr 2007 20:36:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - Eraserhead set David Lynch on the path to legendary cult status, and today it remains one of his most famous works. Throughout the film's 89 minute duration, the audience is bombarded with a slew of confounding and provocative images that linger...

mvie mu-1006679: Much Symbolism and Not Much Sense, but isn't that why we Love Lynch?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjjjk4 - A man and his girlfriend are blessed to be the proud parents of a mutated baby-thing. straight from the opening scene, the viewer knows they are in for a different kind of viewing experience. Memorable, for there comedy and creepiness, are scenes...

Fri, 12 May 2006 14:54:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Pffrdfdus7 - Spoiler Warning in Effect Fusing the nightmares of children to haunted parental grief in a gothic theater of the absurd, and welded to a grotesque fantasia in the industrial German expressionistic mold, David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977)...

mvie mu-1006679: Maybe the emperor really is naked

Thu, 3 Feb 2005 07:23:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author altecocker - "Cult film"; an overused phrase. Nowhere else, however, does it fit as well as here. Eraserhead, released in 1978 (90 minutes) is certainly a cult film. That appellation has appeared nearly everywhere that reference to this film is made. And it is...

mvie mu-1006679: A HEAD-F*#K OF THE HIGHEST CALIBRE

Sat, 24 May 2003 11:02:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jadabh - This being David Lynch's first film, if he made it to make an impact. Its like nothing else I've ever seen. The film is littered throughout with imagery and symbolism. Much like Lynch's other films you have to work extremely hard if you want to...

mvie mu-1006679: Through His Nightmares, We See Our Fears

Fri, 7 Mar 2003 09:26:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Now, I'm not sure whether or not it is the huge meal I ate for dinner working it's magic, but I have awoken every hour on the hour (literally) from nightmares since seeing this movie. Eraserhead, the first feature-length film from David Lynch,...

mvie mu-1006679: Eraserhead-Lynchian brilliance

Mon, 9 Dec 2002 11:04:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cloudbuster - Eraserhead was the debut release for arty film director David Lynch.

The film is shot in black and white with generally (at the time) unknown actors like Laurel Near, Charlotte Stewart and John Nance.

What the film is actually about...

mvie mu-1006679: Mutant Babies and a Tumour-faced Lounge Singer

Wed, 13 Mar 2002 17:05:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pugslyaddams - David Lynch must have a good shrink. If his movies are any indication he is one mentally ill individual. Or at least he used to be, now he's just strange.

I'm having a costume party in two weeks and I wanted an obscure costume that could...

mvie mu-1006679: Funny stuff

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 05:30:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shockcord - I never laughed so hard as I did when I first saw Eraserhead. The “symbolism,” thinly veiled that it is, is hilarious. Juxtaposed against a grimy industrial background, Lynch flagellates various archetypes of modern suburban male angst to “the settling...

mvie mu-1006679: David Lynch's Nightmare

Wed, 4 Jul 2001 16:14:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xxxxer - Seven years in the making, this is one brilliant surreal vision, as bizarre a movie as you will ever see. Starring perennial Lynch favorite Jack Nance, this story follows a strange man with a now-legendery hairstyle, Henry, a printer who fathers a...

mvie mu-1006679: Baby Demon Comes Apart Before your Very Eyes. And That's Not All...

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 21:16:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nathantyree - The Surrealist movement in film really began when Luis Bunel, and Salvadore Dali made the now classic, silent short film Un Chien Andalou( An Andalusian Dog, for those that don't speak any Spanish). Bunel was afraid that the audience would attack...

mvie mu-1006679: Your call

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 00:14:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cgardenh - First, I would like to say everyone should see this film. It is the only film I have ever seen that truly deserves the description nightmarish. No matter what you think of it or can make of it it leaves you with that Lynchian feeling of "this...

mvie mu-1006679: Surreal Art

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 03:03:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Blister_Herzog - I'm not really sure what I should write about this, so I'm just going to wing it and write what ever comes to mind, seeing as how I just saw the picture. Eraserhead is definitely an interesting piece of work. This is one of those films where the art...

mvie mu-1006679: "Eraserhead": A Jungian Nightmare

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 02:29:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author allanstein2 - The more abstract a work of art is, the more meaningfully obscure and open to interpretation it becomes. David Lynch's 1977 debut film "Eraserhead" is not an easy movie to dissect, let alone watch.

Set against a twilight urban...

mvie mu-1006679: The End is near

Sun, 7 May 2000 09:50:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Elemeno123 - I'd heard about Eraserhead for a long time and in February I finally plonked down the $150 deposit required to rent it my video store. I popped in the tape, turned off the lights, and expected the worst.

About 5 minutes in, I found myself oddly...

mvie mu-1006679: Humanist Horror

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 21:26:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author M.S. - By Max Scheinin.

I've put a lot of thought into the following statement and I now consider it pretty much concrete: Eraserhead is the scariest film I have ever seen.

Don't misread that. It's not a pleasurable experience...

mvie mu-1006679: Lynching ET?

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 02:24:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lansky2000 - This flick was a long-running favorite at the midnight shows at the Waverly Theatre in NYC's Greenwich Village years ago. This was David Lynch's debut in American film, and it had audiences scratching their heads but nevertheless praising his efforts...

mvie mu-1006679: Weird and great!

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 19:38:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kamdine - What is this movie about? Your guess is as good as mine... Some people say: "what's the pleasure in watching a movie you don't understand?!" Well, to them I say: because it challenges my intellect and there aren't many movies who can do that.....

mvie mu-1006679: What did you expect?

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 11:44:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bigbritherbuck - David Lynch shows where his mind is at. This movie is very dark and gloomy,always waiting for something to happen,"oh it does". I must admit it was the strangest movie I ever watched,slow, hardly any dialogue, what did you expect when you see a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DjNub - This is an excellant film. David Lynch is amazing! First off, although the movie was filmed in the nineties it's in black and white, How much more artistic can you get? The movie chronicles the main caracters misled marriage and the birth of his...
