"Tetsuo is one of the most thoroughly unpleasant experiences I've ever had watching a movie"
Prettttyyyy much. The first time I tried watching it, I bailed after about a minute when the dude just starts cutting his arm open. It's only not 30th for me because the stop-motion is pretty wild. I recommend just reading the synopsis on Wikipedia and wondering how the hell something like that could be put to film.

Decades before films like
Martyrs
or
Antichrist
pushed the boundaries of bodily violation

Tetsuo's raw energy and unapologetic violence of course paved the way for the wave of Asian Extreme horror to come too, notable examples of its influence seen in films like
Audition
Yeeaaahhhhh....those movies had a point, though
