A list of the weirdest movies in existence wouldn't be complete without an entry for master of the surreal, David Lynch. You can pretty much take your pick from most of his cinematic output - the aptly named The Straight Story excepted - but for sheer and unadulterated oddness look no further than his early foray into the unusual, Eraserhead. An early entry into the strange sub-genre of body horror, Eraserhead is an experimental excursion into the hallucinatory mind of Henry Spencer (Jack Torrance), a father left to attend to his deformed child. The influence of Franz Kafka's novella The Metamorphosis is notable throughout, but largely this is purely Lynchian cinema, replete with many of the themes which he would explore throughout his career - sexual desire and perversion, the twisted underbelly of American society and more are projected onto the screen in imagery as strangely entrancing as the dislocated sounds which emerge from the speakers.
