A man’s body mutates into a weaponised machine, unleashing rage, metal and mayhem in Shinya Tsukamoto’s cyberpunk nightmare.
In TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN, a man discovers his body is no longer entirely human. Born of a strange android legacy, he begins transforming into a half-man, half-machine weapon, sprouting brutal armour and firepower as grief and rage take over. Shinya Tsukamoto delivers a ferocious cyberpunk assault of body horror, metal, speed and industrial chaos.
Rialto Recommends TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN is not so much watched as survived. Shinya Tsukamoto turns the human body into a screaming machine of grief, violence and mutation, creating a low-budget cyberpunk blast that feels raw, metallic and gloriously unhinged. For fans of body horror, cult cinema and industrial-strength madness, this one goes straight for the nervous system.
