Tetsuo: The Bullet Man

Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2010) is the third film in Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo trilogy — stream it online on iFILM. Anthony, half-American and half-Japanese, is living quietly in Tokyo with his wife and young son until a driver deliberately kills the child and something in Anthony's body begins to shift — skin hardening, metal forcing its way through flesh.

Tsukamoto made the first two Tetsuo films in Japanese in 1989 and 1992 and they became landmarks of Japanese cyberpunk cinema. He shot this one entirely in English to reach a wider audience. Eric Bossick plays Anthony; Tsukamoto himself appears as the relentless pursuer. At 71 minutes, The Bullet Man is body-horror distilled. Stream Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2010) online on iFILM.
