Teddy B As wild as it the plot sounds, 'Tetsuo: The Iron Man' is a remarkable work of body horror and twisted sound design. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Elliot A A masterpiece that's more trippy than LSD Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Liam D Truly one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen but at an hour and 5 minutes it has fantastic practical effects, uncomfortable sound design and well done stop motion Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Dionisis T Confusing,but totally amazing! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Robson C Um homem atropela outro e esconde o corpo. Porém, a vítima sobrevive e, para se vingar, transforma o seu atropelador em um ser de carne e metal. É um clássico do gênero body horror. O filme tem toda uma atmosfera surrealista e abstrata, mas mesmo assim é possível acompanhar perfeitamente a história. Filmado em preto e branco, devido ao baixo orçamento, possui um excelente trabalho de maquiagem, uma trilha sonora meio industrial, mas bastante perturbadora (como o próprio filme). Para compensar os efeitos visuais, é adotada a técnica de stop motion, que produzem o impacto necessário. Os seres mescla de humanos com metal não são bonitos esteticamente. Não há um refinamento na sua aparência, que mais parece um amontoado de metal com uma cabeça e braços humanos. É para poucos. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Metallic mayhem and graphic depravity fly thick and fast in Tetsuo: The Iron Man, it draws on the marriage of flesh and technology that inspires so much of David Cronenberg's work and twists it into a manga-influenced cyberpunk vision. This 67-minute lunacy is probably the closest approximation to capturing a sustained migraine in pure celluloid form, what's on screen borders on the extreme and experimental, all matched by a hysterical and unnerving score. Chu Ishikawa's clattering metal percussion and unrelenting terror synths sometimes border on unlistenable but add to the film's uniqueness and disgusting style. Less a coherent plot than a series of disturbing images loosely struck together, confrontation and violence erupt at breakneck speed in this nearly dialogue-free odyssey, assaulting every sense it can with the tenacity and ingenuity of DIY filmmaking. The stop-motion effects give the fusion of bared wires and exposed ganglia an unnervingly vivid physicality. A hysterical, histrionic ode to cyberpunk fetishism, Tetsuo: The Iron Man was one of my early ventures into the realm of Japanese cinema, one that really isn't my thing but is unquestionably a feat of imagination and technique yet an hour of it is more than enough.
