1986 · Film · ★ 4.6
Released in 1986, The Abomination is a horror film directed by Bret McCormick, running about 100 minutes. “Tumorous parasitic beasts are nesting in the bowels of their victims...” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. A mother obsessed with mind-altering televangelism consequently vomits a pulsating growth that slithers down the throat of her son during the night. Upon spewing the parasite, the son is driven by an uncontrollable force to murder and feed corpses to the now-multiple-toothed monsters manifesting throughout the house. This gory, shot-on-Super-8 regional rarity is a micro-budget salute to H.G. Lewis and H.P. Lovecraft. — Evan Husney, Drafthouse Films
