Meatball Machine
They come from beyond
Directed by Yudai Yamaguchi, Jun'ichi Yamamoto
Produced by King Records
A grotesque, high-energy splatter-horror comedy that weaponizes body horror and absurdist tone to tell a perverse love story amid alien invasion carnage.
Capable of making bio-mechanical weapons out of human flesh, alien parasites grotesquely invade the Earth, turning their hosts into maniacal killers who seek and destroy each other to the bloody death! And yes, it s also a human love story, even though the budding romantics are infested with slimy, tumor-like globules.
