Jeez... come on, you guys! Whew!
This movie's always been a childhood favorite. And what about Helen Mirren? Or about that crazy plant getting shot? That always freaked me out! That little gasp, and then it starts dying...? Or how about that mechanical spider? Those electric shocks Fu Manchu had to do? And the end! You don't see sort of win/lose endings like that.
No, this movie's always had a special place in my heart. Mainly, it's a film best approached with a childlike perspective. No, it's not a Great Film, nor Masterpiece Cinema, but there is something about it....

I've recently discovered this movie, and you might say I've been catapulted into a miniature cult status with it!
I'm just amending my previous comment by saying; Killer Tongue is a film that has great unpredictable flair (I keep saying; "Meanwhile..." after scene changes with a lopsided grin), and reminiscent of many other filmmaker's early work, while they still have that restless vitality that comes without the jaded, cynical nature of experience. It's actually precisley something in that nature, something "funky", which I think a lot of big-budget movies have lost. Many of Mario Bava's movies have that great taste of whimsical flair, not the least of which is Danger: Diabolik or even Twitch of the Death Nerve. Some foreign films can really be found to deliver some spice!
Also, the Tongue itself is uncredited, isn't it? For a while, I thought it was Charlie Adler, voice of Ickis from Real Monsters, friends of mine joke its Harvey Fierstein, but I doubt that pretty well. Well, good luck out there, there's much I could say about the childlike nature that is tapped by any monster movie femme fatale, and the self-deprecating nature of the movie, but suffice it to say I've got the CD soundtrack, and I'm hunting down the DVD.

A wacky saga for those fans of early Sam Raimi/Coen brothers movies, this movie has a great blend of rollicking humor and horror! The makeup effects are terrific on such a low budget, and the acting is zealous! Overall, the film has that flavor of late-night cable movies that can damage you in your formative years!
It's quite a cast, with Mapi Galan, from "The City of Lost Children" and numerous other Spanish films, as well as Freddie and Pinhead, and even a cast member from "Straight to Hell"!
Mind you, if you're here at Killer Tongue, you're a fan of the genre (or at least of those bizarre independent flicks that bring a smile to your face), and can appreciate the movie on those grounds.
Beware, while having a strange, childlike nature, it's most certainly not Disney, and not for children (or for most grown-ups). However, if you like movies that appeal to your sense of absurdity like "Liquid Sky", "Greaser's Palace", "An American Werewolf in London", or the LEXX series, then rent this if you can find it. It's one of those obscure flicks that puts a smile on your face.
