Eraserhead

David Lynch’s surreal debut presents an industrial nightmare of strange beauty that cemented *Eraserhead* as a cult classic of midnight cinema.

Henry Spencer, an unlucky factory worker in a bleak industrial wasteland, is confronted with the horrors of fatherhood. After an alarmingly brief pregnancy, his ex-girlfriend Mary gives birth to a grotesquely deformed child. Overwhelmed by the infant’s incessant cries, Mary decides to leave Henry alone with the newborn. What follows is Henry’s descent into madness and paranoia.

David Lynch’s black-and-white horror is dark, disturbing, and bizarre—yet eerily mesmerizing. A masterpiece of tragicomedy, inspired by Franz Kafka and accompanied by a hauntingly brilliant score, it delves deep into the subconscious and its unsettling depths.
