Trivia
Meatball Machine became the international breakthrough movie of Yoshihiro Nishimura's career, as a result of the extensive coverage his special make-up effects work on it received from then-independent movie news website Twitch, beginning over a month before its premiere at the now-defunct Tokyo International Fantastic Film Festival.

8/10

Horror/Gore sci-fi with...an human and relatable twist?!

This must be the first in my life I've ever seen relatable and fragile characters as the protagonists of this type of movie, usually relegated to kickass one-liners spewing macho men or women a là Doom Guy or Ellen Ripley (funny, considered this movie was clearly influenced by Alien and Invasion of the Body Snatchers). For that alone, this movie gets 1000% my approval. Hollywood and America please take notes...once again.
