Eraserhead - Lisa's Review

I really don't want to waste much time reviewing this movie.  The time spent watching it is enough time wasted.

So you may have guessed that I didn't enjoy the movie.  Well, the fact that it is surrealism from start to finish should give you an idea of my viewpoint.  I HATE surrealism.  I hate arty farty movies.  Calling this a movie is a stretch of the imagination.  It reminded me of one of those repetitively played out arty farty clips you see at art galleries masquerading as art.  Something that no matter how hard you try (if indeed you can be bothered) you can't even begin to make sense of it.

The movie follows a man called Henry Spencer.  I couldn't work out if what occured in the film was reality or whether it was madness from the dreams of Henry.  From being a head in space to the singing woman in the radiator.  Henry and his girlfriend (who keeps having weird fits that everyone ignores) spawn a freaky, wierd mutant baby who cries through the whole damn movie before it transforms into something even more fucking obscene.

This is a movie which may make sense if you're under the influence of something mind altering, but watching it simply with a glass of 7UP and a Dairymilk, I'll be fucked if it made sense to me.

In conclusion and to sum up, I thought this movie was absolutely shite.  I hated every last minute of it and really struggle with trying to write a review which makes any sort of sense.  Avoid at all costs.
