🎬 MovieFinder's Take

"Тэцуо, железный человек" (1989) knows its genre roots but adds something of its own to the formula.

Genre fans — required viewing. Light sleepers — approach with caution.

For fans of dark cinema who want not just a scare, but something to carry home.

Director: Shinya Tsukamoto
