David Lynch’s feature debut, Eraserhead (1977), is a surreal plunge into industrial nightmares and domestic dread. Henry Spencer, with his iconic shock of hair, drifts through a dreamlike landscape of factories, shadows, and unsettling silences—until he’s forced to care for his grotesquely deformed child. At once hypnotic, grotesque, and strangely funny, Lynch’s midnight movie masterpiece has haunted audiences for decades, cementing its place as one of the most unforgettable cult films ever made.
