A deeply bizarre Japanese cult horror that seems way ahead of its time - the unsettlingly fast editing, excellent B&W cinematography and stop motion trickery all add to the strangeness of a man gradually turning into a machine. Close attention is required to follow what there is of a plot as it unfolds gradually while bombarding the viewer with extraordinary imagery that can only be likened to an art house mash-up of early David Lynch, J-Horror, Sam Raimi and Otomo's Akira. Absolutely unique and extremely well done. 7 years 8 months ago

Somewhere Cronenberg is very pleased. Tsukamoto is severely deranged. 8 years 8 months ago

A real mindscrew. I felt that it was way ahead of its time.
