The post The Abomination Bret McCormick’s legendary 1986 Super 8 splatter fest On Blu-ray September 29 appeared first on Horror News | Hnn.

Fans of Shot-on-Video microbudget horror, particularly the gory variety, it’s your lucky day: Super 8 splatter film The Abomination is heading to Blu-ray in September.

Visual Vengeance, a Blu-ray label dedicated to vintage ‘Shot on Video’ and microbudget genre independents from the 1980s through 2000s, revealed today that they’re releasing The Abomination on September 29, 2023.

The 1986 horror feature was written and directed by Bret McCormick.

A creature feature that centers around a tumorous, parasitic entity that takes up residence in human bowels creates the perfect setup for one bloodbath horror movie.

The Abomination‘s synopsis: Deep in the heart of rural Texas, a TV evangelist exorcises a tumor from the body of a loyal worshipper, who soon coughs up the growth. Unknown to her, the cancer is actually a carnivorous life form that slithers its way into her son Cody while he sleeps, growing inside him until he is completely under its control.

Directed by legendary cult filmmaker Mark Polonia and written by B-movie legend Bret McCormick, Wild Eye Releasing heads back to the deep this summer with the newest entry in the long running, cult hit shark series Jurassic Shark 3 : Seavenge.

The unstoppable Megalodon is back, stalking the inhabitants of a stranded boat off the coast of a small fishing community. A reporter, her cameraman and some thieves must work together to finally put an end to this legendary man-eater, but that won’t be easy as this aquatic serial killer has emerged to exact it’s own brand of revenge on them.

Who thought sharks had a love of helicopters. Oh wait, we knew that in Jaws 2 when the shark took down a chopper.

Check out the carnage in this trailer below.

The digital and DVD, which includes an audio commentary, scene selection, and trailers, hits June 13.

Who knew movie-goers had such a hunger for movies about animals on cocaine-fuelled rampages? In less than two weeks of release, director Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear (read our review Here) has racked up over $50 million at the box office. In the build-up to the release of that film, a news report about New Zealand police recovering more than three tons of cocaine that was found floating in the Pacific Ocean got people talking about the possibility of a Cocaine Shark movie… and the idea was even passed along to Banks, who said, “Jaws with cocaine, I don’t see how that loses.” But as it turns out, Banks has been beaten to the Cocaine Shark idea by prolific low budget filmmaker Mark Polonia, whose own Cocaine Shark movie is so far along that it has already secured a distribution deal with Wild Eye Releasing, and a trailer is already online!
