How about _Tetsuo: The Iron Man_, 1992, Shinya Tsukamoto.  It's sort of a
cross between Kafka's _Metamorphosis_, _The Fly_ (especially the fusion of
BrundleFly with the Pod), and your basic cyborg movie, in which a Japanese
white-collar worker starts sprouting pieces of metal, machinery, and cables.
Very odd, beautiful black and white film, very avant garde, lots of
claymation gore and a scary drill-penis.
