It defies explanation

I'm really not sure how to truly rate this movie, and for that reason I find it to be great. No other film has left me as utterly speechless and lacking in understanding as this one has. While some might call Lynch a "hack", "pretentious", or "overly artistic", it must be understood that he doesn't expect one to understand his movies, he wants his viewers to think. Eraserhead is filled with experimental, abstract, and surreal with completely unconvential shooting technique, story structure, character development... in fact this is among the least conventional films of all time. With unusual sound design, shocking cinematography, weird characters and a freaky looking alien baby, Eraserhead is not a film for everyone. However, it is still worth seeing to have an experience unlike any other film... and I can assure you of that.
