I love Eraserhead. Lynch = one of my favorite directors.
David Cronenburg can direct a mean horror flick, too. Videodrome is quite wonderful.

I divide my favorite horror movies into two camps:
70's/ 80's/ early 90's latex fests
and
Things That Truly Make My Soul Feel Sick.

Hostel / Saw / 21st century, filter-heavy, splatter-porn remakes are definitely not on either of those lists.
All gore with no thought does nothing to make my brain produce juices.
It's not horrifying to watch cardboard-cutout-characters get hacked up, even if it is ridiculously cringe-worthy at times.
They are insulting. I'd much rather go to a professional haunted house during Halloween.
