I saw a David Lynch movie for the first time; Eraserhead. I thought I’ve seen some weird things, but none so far have managed to create such a tense atmosphere that genuinely disturbed me. The ominous sounds, the odd quirks in how people acted and interacted with each other, the weird tangents, and overall mood of anxiety. Comedy and drama often can blend together into “Dramedy” but in this film, it’s like exotic blend of comedy, drama, and horror. Horamadey…?
Such an odd thing to judge. I didn’t quite hate it, yet I don’t quite want to watch this again, and yet I sorta like it.

I should note that this viewing this film actually gave me a headache, which is funny because Lynch has said that he got a migraine from visiting George Lucas from all the talk about Star Wars.
