One of the Most Bizarre Movies of the ‘70s Is Now Streaming Free

by

Movies often end in one of two ways: with everything neatly resolved, or leaving you completely confused. Films like The Game, Jacob’s Ladder, and Oldboy are famous for being incredibly strange and twisting your expectations. Now, a particularly noteworthy and free-to-stream addition to the world of experimental and surreal cinema from director David Lynch is available.

David Lynch’s debut feature film, Eraserhead, became available to stream on Tubi on October 6th. The critically acclaimed, black-and-white surrealist horror film has an 87% rating from critics and an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Known as one of Lynch’s most unusual movies, it stars Jack Nance as Henry Spencer, a man struggling to cope with his job, his girlfriend, and the birth of his strangely deformed baby. The film also features performances by Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, and Jack Fisk, and has gained a devoted cult following.

Eraserhead Is a Fever Dream of a Movie

David Lynch’s Eraserhead is a film that deliberately keeps you guessing, and it’s likely to be a very divisive experience – people tend to either strongly love it or strongly dislike it. It’s an experimental and deeply surreal movie, characterized by dreamlike sequences and disturbing visuals. Eraserhead really defined Lynch’s filmmaking style, which often prioritizes creating a specific mood and atmosphere over telling a straightforward story, and is known for its strange imagery and unsettling sound.

David Lynch’s Eraserhead is a deeply psychological film often seen as an exploration of the fears of becoming a father. It creates a powerfully unsettling and unforgettable experience through its disturbing visuals, nightmarish setting of a crumbling industrial world, and haunting sound design. Everything in the film works together to draw you into the main character’s troubled mind, leaving you feeling deeply uneasy and questioning what you’ve just witnessed. While not for all viewers, this surrealist masterpiece—preserved by the U.S. National Film Registry—is widely considered a landmark achievement in cinema and stays with you long after the credits roll.
