Overview
A “metal fetishist”, driven mad by the maggots wriggling in the wound he’s made to embed metal into his flesh, runs out into the night and is accidentally run down by a Japanese businessman and his girlfriend. The pair dispose of the corpse in hopes of quietly moving on with their lives. However, the businessman soon finds that he is now plagued by a vicious curse that transforms his flesh into iron.

Viewing Notes
Always a nostalgic feeling viewing this. Seeing only clips of this back in the day and wondering what the fuck this was only to eventually find it on a video store shelf years later. Imagine seeing this on release right after Akira.
