The movie

Anthony, a reserved office employee, lives in Tokyo with his wife Yuriko and their young son, Tom. When Tom is killed by a reckless driver, Yuriko loses her mind while Anthony becomes prey to violent emotions and begins a terrifying mutation: one by one, his cells turn into metal, transforming this mind-mannered employee into a frightening machine of revenge. Eighteen years after Tetsuo II the Body Hammer, Shinya Tsukamoto adds an eagerly-awaited third opus to the same series begun in 1989 with Tetsuo the Iron Man. This full-length feature is an extreme sensory experience that flirts with experimental cinema and will nail viewers to their seats with its stunning images and mindblowing soundtrack.
