Meatball Machine

They come from beyond

NR 2006 · 90 min · ★ 5.3 · Horror, Science Fiction, Action

Capable of making bio-mechanical weapons out of human flesh, alien parasites grotesquely invade the Earth, turning their hosts into maniacal killers who seek and destroy each other to the bloody death! And yes, it s also a human love story, even though the budding romantics are infested with slimy, tumor-like globules.
