"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.π₯Ί"
"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. Itβs strange, odd and dark."
"Slow body horror..."
