The Abomination

If anyone is reading this review, it means one of two possible things.

One- You are one of the few poor souls who sat through all 90 excruciating minutes of this grade-Z garbage about a mutant lung tumor that transforms itself into a large rubbery creature with teeth, who then resides in a young hick's kitchen cabinets, where it hypnotizes him into killing people for food. If this is the case, there isn't much I can do for you except for to say how sorry I am that your taste in cinema led you to this film. At least your aren't alone. Along with myself, I have three friends who watched this with me, who probably aren't my friends anymore.

Two- You are a horror movie fan who saw this film sitting on your local video store shelves, just begging you to rent it, and you have come to this most excellent site to get some information on it before whipping out your rental card and a couple of dollars. Unlike above, THIS I can do something about. PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU. DO NOT RENT THIS MOVIE!!! Let it lie unwatched on the shelf, where hopefully, it will gather enough dust that the cleaning staff will mistake it for an overgrown dustbunny, and quickly place it in the trash, where it may one day find it's way to the local landfill. Once there, with just a little luck, it will degrade and provide nourishment for some bottom-feeding life form who cant find any thing else better to feed on, like used coffee filters.

If I can only save one person from the fate I suffered because of this movie, my torment will all seem worthwhile. Friends are important in this day and age.

Pious Catholic lady watches a TV sermon given by a shady televangelist, which apparently causes her to hack up a bloody lung cookie. The slimy little tumor wanders about for some time, and ultimately grows into something resembling a gooey hard-luck cousin of H. R. Pufnstuff with long, spiked teeth. The flesh hungry beast takes residence within her kitchen cabinets and telepathically enslaves her son, forcing him to commit murders to feed it.

It's bewildering that this unquantifiable Super-8 morceau-de-merde actually made it off the drawing board to materialize as something vaguely similar to a motion picture. It's as if some guy took a good, long look at his tatty old bean-bag chair, and thought to himself... "I could totally make a movie about this thing." Good God, it's the most rubbish excuse for a monster since THE CREEPING TERROR, which is a marvel of FX wizardry next to the *cough*..."ABOMINATION"...*cough*.

Hopelessly deficient at every juncture of production, and beyond...the cottage cheese rolling out of the headless neck...the ultrasubminimalist Casio score...the montage at the start of the film that shows you everything you're about to see...the actress named GAYE BOTTOMS(poor girl... *snicker*). In short, this is something SPECIAL, folks. Oh, yes it is. Special like a kid who eats crayons. Prepare to pee your pants in a fit of insuppressible laughter.

If you enjoy THE ABOMINATION, you might also like GUZOO: THE THING FORSAKEN BY GOD, a similar, but more proficiently made Japanese gorefest about a formless monster chowing down on girls like they're acid at Woodstock.

A young man becomes possessed by THE ABOMINATION, unleashing unholy vengeance upon the unsuspecting. His hyper-religious mum is the most memorable victim of THE ABOMINATION. Her preacher's death is equally magnificent, though far too short.

In spite of this being an ultra-schlock, penniless non-production, the practical effects are nonetheless glorious! The monsters are -somewhat- reminiscent of the alien creatures in DEADLY SPAWN: Big rubber mouths full of big sharp teeth.

Gorehounds will shout with joy! Blood spurts, sprays, and oozes just about everywhere! The chainsaw / brain sequence alone should be enough to bring the love! There's also a grim, cruel atmosphere of ultimate doom! The sporadic camerawork, scattershot editing, and bonkers "plot" all have a role in achieving this miracle!

ADDED ANTI-BONUS: For reasons unknown, the makers of this film decided to include a seemingly endless montage of all the goriest, gushiest bits of the movie... At the beginning! They spoil their own movie!...

The abomination (1986) is a ultra cheap and rare horror movie!!! It's about this young man called Cody who lives with his religious mother, the mum coughs up this tumour which starts turning into a monster, the monster controls Cody to kill his friends and bring it food to make it stronger, can Cody fight the monster or will he be just become another victim!!! The film is so bizarre, ultra low budget, it throws in some really fake gore and there's this music that keeps turning up during the movie, music that seems to stay in your head for ages!!! The Abomination is very bad, no doubt about it, but it's really funny and has entertainment value, it's in the "so bad it's good" bracket, and therefore i'll give this Abomination 5/10.

OK I love bad horror , really bad Z horror..really bad "so horrible it's funny" type movies...but this movie is BORING....The thing is this movie has some hillarious moments of bad acting and dialogue "i'm feeling extra poorly"..or "IT WAS THE ABOMINATION"..but god this movie was a 90 minute bore fest...the movie drags drags drags..and all the good parts are in the very begining..including Cody waking up at least 10 x's on repeat...don't waste your time even to see gore...it's too damn boring...I fell asleep..I didnt even see the rest of it
