“Expanding enormously on the fantasy elements of his earlier films, Carpenter has turned in a full-scale thriller of the supernatural, as a sinister fog bank comes rolling in off the sea to take revenge on the smug little town of Antonio Bay.” — Time Out London
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (Shinya Tsukamoto, Japan, 1989, R): A businessman accidentally kills the Metal Fetishist, who gets his revenge by slowly turning the man into a grotesque hybrid of flesh and rusty metal. [67 min; horror; Japanese with English subtitles]
“Shinya Tsukamoto’s wildly inventive experimental body horror film still astonishes more than 30 years later.” — Trace Thurman, Horror Queers podcast
