But look at it quickly, or sort of squint, and it looks like someone has simply taken a hatchet to her head. Or her skull is sort of melting out of her right ear. They can't seriously be attempting to position The Iron Lady as a gender twist on the Tetsuo: Iron Man body horror series, can they? What do you think?
