Shinya Tsukamoto’s terrifying and grotesque tale of a man becoming a monstrous machine takes its influences from Lynch’s ERASERHEAD and Cronenberg’s fleshy props to create a perverse cyberpunk orgy of body horror.

Part of the Philadelphia Film Society’s AFTER HOURS series.

Bringing together the odd, eerie, thrilling, and downright weird, this is the home of cult classics.
