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)
A wild, over the top splatterfest of alien parasites taking over humans as hosts so that they can fight each other but you've also got a tender cyber-punk romance mixed into the plot. The Necroborg costume designs are pretty good and what can I say about the sick special effects ...( 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)

fun to watch, if you like those kind of movies. violent, bloody, unclear story, cyborg-punk mods..and cheap visual effects. recommanded to fans only.
If u like Tetsuo, The Guyver, Tokyo Gore Police and Gwar you'll probably like this although not as much if only because it seems to borrow so heavily from those very same films and well Gwar.
Pretty fucking stupid. The only reason I saw this was that someone online said it was like "The Machine Girl" and "Tokyo Gore Police". The only thing that was remotely the same was that there was lots of gore, but nothing compared to those two movies, not to mention that " Meatba...( 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)
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Meatball Machine" !
