Simply Perfect
As Good As It Gets
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Shy factory worker, Yoji, trudges through life.Alien parasites control people and gets them to fight each other.The people Yoji works with try to get him sexual experience. After yet another failure along these lines, Yoji finds an alien, and takes it to his work. He tries to drill into it, and fails.Yoji prevents his boss from raping a woman, Sachiko, who works near the factory. He gets beaten up and fired, but meets the woman, anyway. She was a victim of child abuse at the hands of her father.In the middle of their revealing discussion to one another, one of the aliens attacks her. He tries lamely to stop it, and fails utterly. She attacks him, then leaves. Yoji wakes up in a place where an alien hunter hangs out. The alien hunter explains some of the history of the quiet invasion, and tells him that the only way to save Sachiko is to kill her and the parasite. The hunter's daughter was partially saved from the parasites, but is still somewhat infected. So the hunter infects Yoji so he can feed Yoji to his daughter.Yoji and Sachiko fight each other. Way too many minutes on the internal shots of tiny parasites in context-free wiggling. ----Scores---- Cinematography: 3/10 Soft focus, wobbly camera.Sound: 3/10 Harsh, staccato, irritating. Anti-relevant background music.Acting: 1/10 What acting?Screenplay: 4/10 Short on ideas, long on poor execution.SFX: 1/10 So much obvious effort, so badly done.
Meatball Machine is an amazing splatter film, it has an original plot with young love, buckets of blood, and weird alien creatures that mutate people into freakish robotic war machines.Now the film isn't for everyone, people who love splatter films or the movie Tetsuo: the Iron Man will applaud it.The special effects can be cheesy at some points of the film, but your not exactly suppose to take the film very seriously.Yet, all in all it's a lot of fun, well if you find budding romantics infested with slimy tumor like gobbles who seek to destroy each other in bloody alien oozing battles.
Don't be fooled by the silly title folks, this is one sweet ride! A true successor to Tetsuo the Iron Man and Ichi the Killer, this gem starts with a bang and lays the gore on thick until the credits roll. It seems that aliens are taking over people's bodies and modifying them into war-machines, which are then used to fight each other in a twisted game for the amusement of their species. The winner of the battle eats the loser alive. That's mostly it for plot, but who cares when the gore is this good? I have no idea how many buckets of slime were used, but it's disgusting to behold. There is interesting and effective use of stop-motion when the takeovers are in progress, and loving care is lavished on all of the creature and make-up effects. The CGI is a bit limited, but that actually doesn't detract from the overall quality one bit, at least for me. This was truly a fun and stomach-turning film that deserves much praise, and has truly earned its place in the stack of Cult Classics. Find it and watch, you won't be disappointed!
I don't know whether to recommend this movie to the fans of " Tetsuo " or not . Why " Tetsuo " ? Because you can easily label some things about this movie as a very obvious " Tetsuo " rip - off . The concept is similar , editing is equally frantic and fast - which is good because , aside from making the movie more dynamic , it obscures some flaws caused by low budget and other factors .There is lot more gore , less eroticism and , in the case of " Meatball machine " , the transformation of human being into a creature that's partially a machine( sounds familiar ? ) called " Necroborg " ( very original ) is caused by slimy little aliens .These slimy little scums from outer space actually use human beings as vessels for their gladiator games that they play with each other . They infest the body , somehow manage to put an insane amount of mechanical parts in it pulling them seemingly out of nowhere and turn it into a killing machine that targets other Necroborgs . Their aim is to defeat another alien who is in another Necroborg , rip it out of the corpse and eat it .All in all , the plot sounds somewhat silly and I didn't expect much , but at the end I actually enjoyed this film .As I said before , this is a low budget flick , but it's still relatively decent . Don't expect much from actors , they're mostly not very good , but it can be tolerated . I liked the atmosphere and gore , certain bizarre situations and the way the movie is directed and edited . Although the story is not too original , it possesses certain charm - to me at least .7 out of 10 .
