It's safe to say that 'Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)' is a weird movie. In fact, it's probably the weirdest film I've seen. That's true of both its narrative, which sees a salaryman slowly transform into a metal abomination after he's involved in a hit-and-run with a mysterious metal fetishist, and of its construction, which is basically just an in-your-face salvo of bizarre and borderline unsettling imagery. The thing is so over-the-top that it's almost funny. It's quite difficult to describe the picture, to be honest. It's not so much a movie as it is a sensory overload. Still, I think I like it. It's unconventional and uncompromising. Of course, it isn't the most straightforwardly enjoyable affair. It's certainly not for everyone. However, if you're interested in this sort of fringe fare then this is well worth a look. 6/10
