In a dark and oppressive industrial town, the harsh roar of machines fills the air. Henry Spencer (played by Jack Nance) visits his girlfriend's home for the first time, only to witness a bizarre and twisted family: a domineering mother, an inept father, a comatose grandmother, and an awkward daughter. What leaves Henry feeling most helpless is being forced to marry his girlfriend. Overnight, Henry becomes a father to a monstrous child. The grotesque appearance of the baby fills Henry with terror and anxiety, driving his new wife to flee in the middle of the night, unable to endure the baby's cries. Unable to bear such a miserable life and nightly nightmares, Henry ultimately dismembers the deformed premature baby with a pair of scissors. David Lynch's feature film debut, "Eraserhead," took five years to complete. Once released, it challenged the then still quite traditional and conservative film industry with its strong avant-garde and bizarre style. Amidst emotional shaky shots and pervasive darkness and decay, Lynch constructs a twisted, pathological family dynamic, brutally exposing the dark side of human nature. This technique, employing Freudian psychoanalysis to dissect the anxiety and gloom of the human psyche, combined with highly impactful visuals, sets David Lynch apart in the film industry.
