Abomination

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.

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.

I searched a long time to find an uncut version of this flick, unavailable here were I am living and on the net you could only find VHS versions but in the NTSC format. Luckily I met a guy who could deliver me the DVD of it. This is odd, the editing is weird, some shots are used a few times again and again. Then suddenly he's running after the girl again he killed earlier, same sequence. But somehow the movie didn't bored me like it did with others. i have seen worser then this, count on that. it's up to you to choose. You can watch the 2 minutes before the starting credits. They have edited all the gore in it, just like a trailer or teaser. Or you can watch the movie and see all the gore again. The storyline is easy to understand, mom has a tumor and by coughing it comes out, but somehow the tumor lives, made me think of brain damage only here they used real effect, brain damage was stop motion. The tumor find his way to her kid, he swallows it and start becoming a killer. But before he kills the movie is half way, before that it's blah blah and driving around, only 2 killings, the gore appears in the second part. The blood flows frequently and in a gory way. Any how, i was happy to see this cult flick and I even had to laugh with it sometime, wait until the preacher is in the toilet-room. Be sure to have a decent copy because it's a transfer from NTSC VHS to PAL DVD.

This is a fun no-budget, direct-to-video amateur horror that's energetic, outrageous, and just competent enough technically to be watchable. The creature that materializes for no obvious reason (because the hero's mother watches TV evangelists too much?) is sort of a toothy puppet like the monster in "Little Shop of Horrors," and there is a lot of enthusiastic bloodletting.

The only thing that keeps it from being a minor classic of nonprofessional schlock filmmaking is that the film reaches a logical, full-circle end point, but just keeps going for another 20 minutes, outstaying its welcome. It's rare that a movie of this nature needs to be more than 80 minutes, and "The Abomination" doesn't have enough ideas to plow on to the 100-minute point--it remains lively but starts getting repetitious after a while.

Still, most movies like this are tolerable only in campy excerpt, or if watched with the benefit of a lot of alcohol, and by comparison this one is quite enjoyable if you can handle the extremely low production values and obviously less-than-serious intent.

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
