"Unique. See it. "

"This is definitely an art house thriller. Everything about this film is especially tailored to make the viewer feel uncomfortable: a forced marriage, darkly lit sets, loud ambient sounds, stilted dialogue, and a crying "baby." I am unsure what the Director was trying to portray with this film, but he sure tried hard to do it. The film simply cannot be described, and is therefore very memorable.🥺"

"It’s weird but it all goes back to the fear of parenting and infanticide. "

"Eraserhead for me is an amazing and nightmare fueled look at the fears of being a father and unwanted pregnancy. This movie is full anxiety and discomfort that drives home the loss freedom some might feel with having a child to look after and the madness that can come with it. It’s strange, odd and dark."

"This is undeniably impressive but absolutely not my thing… This is a super weird fever dream of a movie"

"There was somehow nothing going on in this movie, but also, so much is going on. Overall, I enjoyed watching it. "

"I heard in an interview with Dennis Hopper that David Lynch never did drugs, I found that hard to believe until I saw this movie, now I find it IMPOSSIBLE "
