Filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto’s unhinged hot take on humankind’s ongoing battle with technology — literally, as a man mutates into a walking, clanking man-machine that terrorizes himself and everyone around him. Warping elements of early Cronenberg, Lynch and Raimi into a deliriously-paced cyberpunk cocktail, TETSUO is a body horror manifesto that’s fueled by techno-erotic adrenaline and wrought iron perversion. Unmissable.

“A cyberpunk ERASERHEAD.” —Michael Weldon, The Psychotronic Video Guide
