Summary: better than "Citizen Kane"
Review: A film to be watched so closely that one's eyes suffer damage. If there are any doubts as to the greatness of this movie, silence them now. All things considered, this may be the best movie anyone has ever thought to make. You may disagree, but come on, wouldn't "Citizen Kane" been a lot better if Orson Welles' pelvis sprouted a giant drill?

Summary: Grind
Review: A simple tale of a man who turns into a giant metal monster, accompanied by suitably extreme noise-core techno / metal, 'Tetsuo' just is. There is a plot, of sorts - the film would make less sense if it ran backwards - but it's not really very important. Instead, the high-contrast, starkly grey-and-black imagery passes at different speeds, with occasional pauses for single words of dialogue (mainly 'OOF!' and 'USSS!'). There's a really nasty sex scene too, one that will make you wince and laugh out loud at the same time.Despite being inexplicable, furious, and one of a kind, there was a sequel - in colour, and with a polished look, it had a plot that trod a fine line between being evocatively minimalist, and standard Anime cliche (our hero has an evil brother, you can guess the rest).

Summary: for a sick mind
Review: actually i'm not into japanese flims but this one is exception! "tetsuoI" is a piece of art,in a twisted way, the sound effect is explosive.containing only a few dialogues without a solid storyline but who cares? all u've got to do is stick yr eyes to the screen which just preoccupies u with non-stop moments of visual&mental excitement.the scene where the woman was being f**ked by the gaint drill (or is it?) with blood bursting off the curtain was really awesome."tetsuo II" is never that good&thrilling. b.t.w.the latest flim " gemini" directed by Tsukamoto is not to missed too.

Summary: A twisted masterpiece
Review: After my initial viewing of this film I literally had to scrape myself off the walls. Tsukamoto has the most intense visual style you're likley to see. The story is as original as it is shocking. It's hypnotic pace and nightmarish techno score will rip into your head...and stay there. THIS IS A MUST SEE!

Summary: This movie will change you
Review: After watching this movie, a small void formed in the exact center of my brain. The void began to inhale all the matter around it until a black hole had formed and my entire cranium collapsed in on itself. This movie is the most bizarre spectacle I have ever witnessed. I first saw this movie in 1996 and to this day I still can't figure the damn thing out. But I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to also have their heads implode. It's a good kind of implosion... BONUS: Most people never make it past the first ten minutes of this flick. If you watch the whole thing, it's like you're in a secret club!

Summary: THE FLY IS BACK (a little bit rusty but still alive)
Review: Director Shinya Tsukamoto's TETSUO is the cult movie by excellence. Preceded by a hellish reputation, invisible in most countries and presented only to a few happy ones in one or two festivals, TETSUO is now in the Image DVD catalog. And, if you dare to, it's worth multiple viewings. Shot in black and white, this movie is not the kind of horror movie we are accustomed to nowadays. If you can stand the first five minutes of the movie, you won't be able to quit the room during 67 minutes ! The argument of TETSUO is quite simple : we will see how an ordinary man is going to change himself little by little into an iron monster. Vengeance, alien invasion, dream could be the cause of this horrible transformation. The rythm is suffocating, not because of a Michael Bay-like hysterical editing but rather because Shinya Tsukamoto knows perfectly well that very often the rythm of a movie is the result of the anxiety of the audience that anticipates the scenes before they happen on the screen. I would say that if you have appreciated PI, you'll love TETSUO. And if you are a movie lover, you'll have a great time to count the very discreet homages to classic horror movies or themes that Shinya Tsukamoto has hidden in his film. At last, the animated parts of the movie are surprisingly well integrated. A scene access, that's all (thank you, thank you, thank you). Sound and images very good in my opinion. So, if you're curious, TETSUO is definitively A DVD for your (secret) library

Summary: CHAOS IN BIONIC
Review: Do androids dream of electric sheep? Maybe. This, then, could be their nightmare. Or what passes for a bad peyote trip for them. Ferric and feral, Shinya Tsukamoto's 1989 debut, where an unassuming Salaryman (Tomoro taguchi) mutates into a bio-mechanical living weapon, is a fractured-reality must-see. Set in a neither-here-nor-there Japan only a fever-wracked noggin could hallucinate, this isn't Japan as hypermodern sci-fic megacity. Rather, it's blighted underside. Its scummy industrial backdrop is all derelict factories, corroded steel, tarnished chrome and frayed cordite. Lynchian deja vu might set in but "Tetsuo: The Iron Man" exists in its own techno-erotic purgatory, and one that gets farther under the skin than "Eraserhead" ever did. Tsukamoto's closer kindred spirit seems to be David Cronenberg. Tsukamoto seems taken with the same apocalyptic neuroses as Cronenberg : men terrorized by their own malfunctioning bodies, the evolutionary possibilities of changeling flesh. But Tsukamoto's far less arctic and cerebral. Basic instinct confronts the abstract by assigning order to the chaos. And the retina-scorching transmutations can get so out-there, you might want to believe they're metaphors: for the dichotomy between the organic and the inorganic,a familiar tsukamoto kink. Or maybe it's all a blackly comic send-up of the mechanisation of the social psyche. But such rationalizations neither deepen the mystery nor heighten the rush. Tsukamoto doesn't really want us to decipher the enigmas. It's the text, not the subtext, that matters. He's pushing a different kick: the pure, twisted and unsettling sensation of watching the Everyday splinter into the irrational, pulling us into a state of anxiety whose very lack of balance is its chief psychoactive. It's the adrenaline of entropy, the poetry of confusion. It's blood and energy, full-on. And Tsukamoto's arsenal certainly has explosive. It's like fragmentation grenades to the brain pan. It's vast. It's hyper. It's ultraviolet and futuristic. But. Tsukamoto , soon enough, ODs on his own momentum. Watching "Tetsuo:The Iron man" in one go can get as exhausting as memorizing Calculus equations while doing High-Impact Aerobics on a ton of caffeine. Everything verges on sensory overload in the final 4th. Shortcircuit. Then you crash. But before that happens, you'd have gotten your chromosomes mad-scrambled by what is still , ten years or so down the line, one of the most unforgettable chunks of weird science, death-metal nihilism and low-tech rage against the machine.

Summary: id rather give it no stars
Review: do not recomend you even attempt to watch this. it is sick and demented out of the hundreds of movies ive seen this is one of the worst i cant believe they put it on dvd i guess the worst part is where the guy drills some chicks private out with his newly installed metal drill penis as she screams in agony. i have no idea what the other previewers were thinking in giving this movie a high rating but i hope they check in with the people in white jackets.
