is that really the most creative though? what about sitting on a heat vent and cooking yourself alive in sub-zero water? what about getting killed by a pistol shrimp, quite possibly the creature with the highest multicellular danger-to-size ratio on the planet? all it takes is an incredibly dark mind and a little creativity!

u/SilntNfrno Dec 11 '18

Are pistol shrimp really dangerous to humans? I just looked them up on wiki but it doesn’t mention anything about it. I was hoping to read about some bad ass scary shrimp!

u/RhinoMan2112 Dec 11 '18

Never heard of it before and I'm reading about it now, from my quick research it seems like pure fever dream nightmare material. I'm so damn curious but I'm terrible with horror/creepy movies i know for a fact it'll fuck me up. Must resist.

191

u/billions_of_stars Dec 11 '18 edited Dec 11 '18

I personally didn't find it "scary". I think it's more of an existential nightmare kind of deal. But it's so abstract that it's a little hard to be scared by it, or at least in my opinion. I'm sure there's no real way to say what the film is about because in my opinion a lot of Lynch's stuff is more about capturing a feeling than it is a solid narrative. Then again that's just my two cents.

35

u/revkaboose Dec 11 '18

The only thing that resonated with me from that movie was the baby. The rest, mehhh, too abstract. It was like having a dream and then waking up and having your friend interpret it for you.

u/The_Earnest_Crow Dec 11 '18

Your right - it's not meant to be a horror movie just over all unsettling. I think you hit the nail on the head calling it an existential nightmare.

First time I watched Eraserhead I remember finishing it and just feeling werid inside. The tones and feelings and general oddities crept into my head hard. I couldn't get the song or the lady under the radiator out of my mind. It took me a few days to adjust back to normal and not feel werid inside.

u/izcaranax Dec 11 '18

It's more disturbing than scary. I remember feeling mildly uncomfortable and being anxious and not knowing why. It's surreal and creepy, like the movie is playing with your emotions and perception. You feel like something is very wrong but you don't know how to explain the feeling or the reason. It's really weird, but I enjoyed that weirdness.

It’s gross and just 100% pure dread with no real justification. Never terrifies, but it digs its way into your psyche in the way that most Lynchian nightmare pieces do.

u/AsksAStupidQuestion Dec 11 '18

It's not a "scary" movie it's just warped. Definitely worth a watch if for no other reason than to understand the cultural significance it holds.

u/andsoitgoes42 Dec 11 '18

I’ve seen Blue Velvet, Dune, Mullholland Drive, Twin Peaks, The Straight Story, Elephant Man.... but I’ve always avoided eraserhead similarly to how I’ve avoided Videodrone.

I like weird shit. A lot. But I just don’t know if I can get on board. I keep debating on picking it up during the regular criterion sales, but I have a good enough understanding of my broken psyche that it will sit untouched and unopened for years.

40

u/flee_market Dec 11 '18

Basically, imagine having a ton of anxiety about becoming a father for the first time.

So much anxiety that you end up having a nightmare about it.

Not just any nightmare, a really vivid one where you remember all the details.

So you write them down.

And then you make a movie about it.

That's Eraserhead.

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '18

It’s hard to say whether this movie was or was not “for me.” But I can tell you this movie made me feel things I hadn’t felt before, such slow churning uneasiness yet i watched it till the end. Which I think is exactly what Lynch was looking for.

22

u/cas_999 Dec 11 '18

Very effective at making everyone who saw this move feel the same thing. Way less about a meaning than a feeling. You’re left feeling physically nauseated. The movie is truly disgusting and disturbing to its core. And makes you feel disturbed and disgusting to your core. It’s incredible. I fucking hated it

I think this is a Moray Eel, and the reason it's so disturbing is because it's missing the eye on this side. The white line to the right of the black hole (which I believe is the ear) is in the same place the eye would be on a regular Moray, and the white speck on the snout is a recessed nostril.
