Bizarre Japanese cyber-punk gore-fest with a bit of tragi-romance thrown in. Despite the obvious low-budget it's got some crazy and oddly impressive make-up effects and visuals... and of course lots of OTT bloody moments. It's a great effort but not a great film but manages to pr... read more
Alien parasites infect human hosts and morph their bodies into fighting machines who then fight each other--will a couple of sweet, shy young lovers each get infected and be forced to battle to the death? Interesting premise and high gore level, but the focus on (admittedly cool... read more
Over-the-top, super-gory, low-budget science-fiction fun! I originally called Evil Dead Trap anime done live but I was wrong; THIS is anime done live--think The Guyver mixed with Tetsuo 2:Body Hammer. And thumbs up to the makers for actually saying the title in the film even if i... read more
Awesome in oh so many ways. Forget the comparisons to Tetsuo, who gives a shit and those complaints are just by people who love to complain about anything. If you're a fan of over the top, no holds barred, weirdo movies this should make your day. A mixture of all types of gen... read more
Wow, as far as B movies go this ranks in the top ten favorites. Of B movies of course. The story was simple, boy likes girl, and then it turns twisted and gory and yet I was completely entertained and a little disturbed. For you gore hounds, definetly check this out.
A fun bloody mess as aliens take possession of human hosts, mutating their bodies to do battle with one another. There's a failed love story in there as well, even as they are creating more and more elaborate weapons out of the biomechanical mutations.
The film is silly as hel... read more
I'm glad I can live in a world where a film like "Meatball Machine" exists.. Borrowing heavily from Cyberpunk films like "Tetsuo: The Iron Man" comes this extreme mix of Horror, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Exploitation.. and pretty much everything else you'd expect from a fi... read more
Meatball Machine follows the tradition of fine, gore-infested Japanese cinema, that also doesn't make any fucking sense. See, the plot has something to do with alien robots landing on Earth and infesting humans so that they can make them into mutated alien robots and fight other... read more
Very original movie. Costumes remind me of a Gwar show. Lotsa splatter and gore too. Imagine such cyberpunk films like Tetsuo or Rubbers Lover, but it color and with a lot more narrative. The dvd has some rad features too including a short film also features clips recycled by To... read more
Good for gore, wich is a good thing. But the version I watched had no subtitles so I was lost. Not like it was that hard to follow. lol
