Highly subjective to one's perceptions, of course.

David Lynch made such aspects of Eraserhead acceptable though his enticing surreal vision, high on atmosphere and visual provocation.

(Un Chien Andalou).

Likewise, Lucio Fulci 'gets away with' inexplicable contrivances and spontaneous plot shifts - partly because The Beyond is a 'Fulci film', and partly because his work is quintessential 80s Italian gore also loaded with atmosphere and visual provocation.

It's horses for courses - many find The Beyond inoffensive in its loose plotting, yet decide some of Lynch and Takashi Miike's work is pretentious and baffling.
