This movie made me want to get into filmmaking. The eeriness of the movie as a whole (sound and visuals) is very terrifying. Most people have debated about the plot and what the movie is supposed to mean; nevertheless, Lynch has literally left it up to the audience to decide making it more fun to discuss.
Very surreal, dark and almost organic, this movie and Lynch’s style of directing have gone on to inspire a slew of copycats (Richard Kelly’s ‘Donnie Darko’ to name a few). This movie has also created a cult following for more of Lynch’s movies. Fortunately this movie was made because it almost wasn’t. And unfortunately if this movie were released in our current American cinema, it wouldn’t have the same impact that it had back in the 70’s. Thank god for the midnight theaters, and thank god for David Lynch! Sometimes we need to look beyond ourselves and dig deeper into our inner conscience. If you can sit through Eraserhead, it will be a great discussion with your friends and it will haunt your dreams.
At first he was obsessed with Hollywood and the movies that came out of Hollywood, and then Peter saw David Lynch's 'Eraserhead.' The mind blowing surreal movie changed his perception on movies forever, and he hounded for more. Because of the dark tone that David Lynch incorporates in his films, Peter generally seeks out films that are identical. His favorite films tend to be politically based, dark and surreal, and have a sense of realism or poetry in them. His favorite genre is horror, but he does enjoy a comedy (more dark than light) now and again. There are times, however, that he does enjoy a little entertainment.
