Exploring the ultimate thrill where body and metal become one.

ThrillerDrama

A car crash victim inexplicably finds himself aroused by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground subculture of like-minded souls.

VIBE

A clinically detached yet intensely erotic slow-burn, this film delves into the unsettling allure of fetishism and the transgressive depths of desire. It's a provocative, disturbing journey into the human body's capacity for pleasure and pain, wrapped in a cold, almost sterile aesthetic that amplifies its unsettling themes.
