10 More Weirdest Cult Horror Films You Need To See

It may seem like an obvious choice for number one, but Eraserhead is an absolute must-see for any horror fan.

This debut film of certified mad genius David Lynch has lost none of its alluring power in the forty-plus years since its release. A chilling examination of fatherhood, through the lens of an industrial world gone to pot, this enigmatic tale has a unique kind of atmosphere that permeates through each frame.

All of Lynch's best qualities are on display here and despite its age and rough around the edges aesthetic, this film can still chill you to your very core once it gets its icy hands all over you. From the nightmarish sound design to the queasy special-effects and glorious black-and-white cinematography, each element works together in the most enchanting way to create a unique and horrific viewing experience.

There are countless macabre, surreal, and nightmarish sequences that will permanently cement themselves inside your mind, even if you're not able to understand what exactly you've just watched.

Lynch has made infinitely more intriguing and impressive films in his time, but the rawness and abrasive nature of Eraserhead has meant that the film comfortably sits alongside his other masterpieces like Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.
