Eraserhead is a certified cult classic that demands your attention if you've got the stomach for it—Lynch's nightmarish fever dream about parenthood is visually stunning and genuinely unsettling. Just know you're signing up for 89 minutes of deliberate weirdness with a mutant baby and industrial dread, so save this for when you're ready to *commit* to cinema, not when you want comfort.

Plot

First-time father Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.
