TETSUO III: THE BULLET MAN – On demand January 19th – In Select Theaters January 21

TETSUO III: THE BULLET MAN, Tsukamoto’s first English-language film, stars Eric Bossick as Anthony, a young man raising a family in Tokyo.  His wife is crippled by anxiety and has recurring nightmares about a horrible fate awaiting the pair’s young son, Tom. Those nightmares turn out to be prophetic when Tom is cruelly run down in the street.  Anthony flies into a terrible rage, and soon discovers that the power of his emotion transforms him into a strange, metallic monster.

Synopsis:  The third installment in the series,  TETSUO III: THE BULLET MAN, and Tsukamoto’s first English-language film, stars Eric Bossick as Anthony, a young man who was born and raised in Tokyo and is now raising a family there.  What should be a happy time in Anthony’s life is not: his wife is crippled by anxiety and unable to leave the house. She also has recurring nightmares about a horrible fate awaiting the pair’s young son, Tom.  Those nightmares turn out to be prophetic when Tom is cruelly run down in the street.   Losing their boy pushes Yuriko over the edge and triggers violent emotions in Anthony, whose body begins to transform.   Anthony flies into a terrible rage, and soon discovers that the power of his emotion transforms him into a strange, metallic monster.   When the driver who killed Tom reappears and Anthony learns the truth about his father’s past experiments on human guinea pigs and about his mother’s death, Anthony mutates into a mass of metal – a human weapon fueled by an uncontrollable rage.  This delights the mysterious man who ran down Anthony’s son, a man who now continually taunts Anthony from a distance.

TETSUO III: THE BULLET MAN is now available on demand from IFC Midnight via Comcast, Cox, Cablevision, Time Warner, and Bright House  and in select theaters.  See below for a list of cities it is playing in.

THE TETSUO TRILOGY:

TETSO: THE IRON MAN –  A strange man known only as the “metal fetishist”, who seems to have an insane compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body, is hit and possibly killed by a Japanese “salaryman”, out for a drive with his girlfriend. The salaryman then notices that he is being slowly overtaken by some kind of disease that is turning his body into scrap metal, and that his nemesis is not in fact dead but is somehow masterminding and guiding his rage and frustration-fueled transformation

TETSUO II: BODY HAMMER – Sequel to “Tetsou” this time has the Iron Man transforming into cyberkinetic gun when a gang of vicious skinheads kidnap his son. When the skinheads capture him, they begin to experiment on him…speeding up the mutative process!
