Cult Japanese Horror Meatball Machine Getting Special Edition Release

Meatball Machine (2005)

Terracotta Distribution have  announced they are set to release  the cult hit Meatball Machine on special limited edition Blu-Ray from next month  in April.

Part tragic love story, part body horror, Meatball Machine is an extreme steampunk gorefest that has stood the test of time since its first release. It has since spawned a sequel Meatball Machine: Kodoku.

Meatball tells the story of a  couple’s love is split by alien parasites invading the earth turning people into cyborg fighters.

Here’s a reminder of the Trailer…

Aliens are invading the Earth and inserting themselves into humans, turning them into slave cyborgs, hosts for the parasitic alien life forms.

When Sachiko is infected and transformed, it’s up to her lover Yoji, who himself is already half-infected, to save her with his new-found mutated state and deadly weapons growing out from his body.
