A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jun'ichi Yamamoto, and they both carry the body horror, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Meatball Machine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Meatball Machine is

Tokyo night. Cicada rasp. A single discarded glove. Parasitic alien spores transform humans into ghoulish biomechanical weapons. Two young lovers find themselves caught in the carnage, each battling to retain their humanity. Yamaguchi's splattery fever-dream anticipates the body-horror renaissance.
