A cult classic of the genre and embracing all of the weirdest aspects of David Lynch's mind - and of course, there's plenty - Eraserhead is an experimental art film as much as it is a work of horror. Positing Henry as a man trying to survive in an industrial world with a raging girlfriend and a mutant baby, things aren't easy when you're trapped in what appears to be a weird plane of hell that is worlds away from the reality we reside in. But hey, he makes ends meet somehow, and is a mad shagger to boot, so it can't be all that bad.

To say that nobody dies in Eraserhead feels somewhat difficult to judge, as there's no real idea of what the hell is going on at any given point. Lynch's first feature-length film prides itself on its sense of tone and space far more than narrative, mixing graphic images and unsettling soundscapes with strange conceptual set pieces and one entirely f*cked-up baby - creating a whole experience a level above your average movie.
