“They come from beyond”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 61, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Alien parasites turn lonely city residents into grotesque biomechanical fighters. A tentative love story is swallowed by machinery, wet practical effects and increasingly elaborate bodily weapons. This Japanese splatter feature suits viewers who enjoy creature design enough to follow it somewhere unpleasant.

Synopsis and movie facts
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.
