Overview
A "metal fetishist", driven mad by the maggots wriggling in the wound he's made to embed metal into his flesh, runs out into the night and is accidentally run down by a Japanese businessman and his girlfriend. The pair dispose of the corpse in hopes of quietly moving on with their lives. However, the businessman soon finds that he is now plagued by a vicious curse that transforms his flesh into iron.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless fever dream of grotesque body transformation and guilt made flesh, shot in stark black-and-white with the frenetic intensity of a nightmare you can't wake from. Tetsuo is an assault on comfort, visceral, weird, and utterly uncompromising.
