Meatball Machine

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.
