Meatball Machine

2006 · 90 min

A gleefully grotesque splatterfest that mixes tender romance with absurd body horror, leaving you both grossed out and oddly charmed.

Tagline: They come from beyond
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Absurd, dark, campy and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Love, isolation, violence, identity
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
