What makes Eraserhead great -- and still, perhaps the best of all Lynch's films? Intensity. Nightmare clarity. And perhaps also it's the single-mindedness of its vision. October 14, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

David Lynch's remarkable first film, made in 1976, still looks like a minor masterpiece, mixing Gothic horror, surrealism and darkly expressionist mise-en-scne. September 12, 2008 | Rating: 4/5

David Lynch has "cleaned up" his freaky feature debut, but don't worry - it's still an amazing industrial nightmare. September 12, 2008 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

David Lynch's 1977 feature debut Eraserhead is one of those rare films that really deserves its cult status - a nightmarish, heavily symbolic story set in a postapocalyptic future. September 12, 2008 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

German Expressionism meets grindhouse schlock, Eraserhead is a student film-turned-cult classic that probably would've been better as a 20-minute short. August 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

"In heaven, everything is fine," but in Eraserhead (1977) nothing is fine. David Lynch's debut feature is grim, disturbed, mutated, claustrophobic, a world that appears to be unraveling-or, more accurately, decaying-before our eyes. January 13, 2017 | Full Review…
