A man known only as the “metal fetishist”, who has a compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body, is hit and possibly killed by a Japanese “salaryman,” out for a drive. The man starts being overtaken by a disease that turns his body into scrap metal, with his nemesis guiding the transformation.
An out-of-this-world nightmare birthed from metal and flesh, Shin’ya Tsukamoto’s cult horror classic frenetically rejects the drudgery of so-called normal life. Surrendering to the tactile allure of the machine, the human body undergoes extreme transformations, set to a frenzied industrial score.
