it is now my duty as i have watched this film several times to try and understand the meaning of it to pass on what i see as my knowledge of it to other people whao may not be as patient as me to try and figure out what the hell this film is all about.
i dont know how i am going to write this but here goes!
a man with a metal fetish runs into the road and dies the man who killed him and his girlfriend both suffer the man by becoming metal in a strangely sick way, and his girlfriend by having sex with him as his penis turns into some sort of rotating power drill???
This is what you see but throughout the film there is references to the first metal man and it seems to me that his father beat him over the head and rammed a metal pole into his head that could not be removed, resulting in him becoming all metal. In a similar way to the ring it is him passing on his misfortune. very similar to the david lynch classic erasurehead this film is full of shocking yet subtle black and white images backed up with an interesting audio job. if your up for a shock it's a good one to watch.
