Hello horror fans! Another year comes to a close, and with it another Far East Extreme. For my money, you couldn’t do this series without at least one Takeshi Miike film, and rest assured this won’t be the only one. The reason?

Meatball Machine belongs to a special offshoot of Japanese body horror, one which contains plenty of medical imagery and often grotesque combinations of man and machine. This is especially poignant for a country like Japan, which is known for its high tech gadgetry and giant, shimmering metropolises like Tokyo.
