Tetsuo The Iron Man’s sequel operates as a companion piece, a twisted tale of metallic transformation and revenge. After his son is kidnapped by a metal obsessive, a salaryman (Tomorowo Taguchi) finds his unwilling body transformed into machine. Bringing in images of body building, guns and bizarre sex rituals, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer is an entertaining cyberpunk tale.

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer is screening as part of the season Tetsuo And Beyond, presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
