Death Powder

Death Powder (デスパウダー, Desu Paudā) is a 1986 low-budget science fiction/horror film with body horror elements, written and directed by Japanese poet/folk singer Shigeru Izumiya.

The experimental film is credited as being the first core of the Japanese cyberpunk subgenre that emerged during the 1980s, predating both Katsuhiro Otomo's anime film adaptation of Akira and Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

Izumiya also stars in his own film, as one of the three scientists who have stolen a cybernetic android and take it to an abandoned warehouse.
