Synopsis:

Five years in the making Eraserhead is David Lynch's bizarre and ground breaking film debut. Shot in black and white the film unfolds in a lifeless industrial wasteland where the protagonist Henry Spencer tramps the grey empty streets in a confused dream. An aloof young man who works as a printer Henry finally faces up to his winsome hysterical girlfriend and her freak show family before finding he's the father of a mutant alien child. Lynch called Eraserhead 'a dream of dark and troubling things' and Henry inevitably falls deeper into an unconscious nightmare populated with the demented deformed and depraved until a beautiful vixen offers him some hope of escape.

Is it a nightmare or an actual view of a post-apocalyptic world? Set in an industrial town in which giant machines are constantly working, spewing smoke, and making noise that is inescapable, Henry Spencer lives in a building that, like all the others, appears to be abandoned. The lights flicker on and off, he has bowls of water in his dresser drawers, and for his only diversion he watches and listens to the Lady in the Radiator sing about finding happiness in heaven. Henry has a girlfriend, Mary X, who has frequent spastic fits. Mary gives birth to Henry's child, a frightening looking mutant, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the depressive and chaotic mix.

In a post-apocalyptic society, Henry Spencer works in a factory and has a girlfriend, Mary. When she gets pregnant, she moves to his apartment and delivers a mutant baby, who cries all the time. She can not bear the screams of the child, leaving Henry, who is on vacation, taking care of the newborn child and driving him insane.
