Caterpillar

About This Movie

Caterpillar is a fascinating dive into the experimental realm. Shozin Fukui crafts a half-hour piece that leans into that gritty cyberpunk vibe, reminiscent of Tsukamoto's work. The film's atmosphere is dense, filled with industrial backdrops that lend a haunting quality to its narrative. The pacing is deliberate yet unsettling, with a malfunctioning cyborg/android providing a sense of unease throughout. The hulking metallic ‘caterpillar’ is particularly striking – it stalks characters like a dark specter, embodying themes of distortion and the uncanny. Practical effects are used here in a way that feels raw and visceral, adding to the film's overall unsettling tone. Definitely one to ponder over and dissect during late-night discussions with fellow collectors.
