Damn, that's a good rip. First time I saw Tetsuo was in 360p, immediately after waking up one morning, right before a shift in a retail store. Nothing gets you ready for the 9-5 like an hour of clanking metal, white noise, static, and legendary Japanese cyberpunk body horror.

The Gift
As psychological thrillers go it's a 9/10. Jebus, talk about a character arc. Jason Batemen's best work to date. He was seriously great in this. Spoiler for Spoiler:

I re-watched this recently as well. I loved it. Yes, it fell into some of the typical tropes of a thriller but the reveal is so worth it.
