The Abomination

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

Yes. This movie is HORRIBLE. Most people aren't going to sit down and watch this. But for those horror movie fans who seek out the best of the worst, this is pure GOLD.

The bad: The monotone, monotonous narration throughout most of the movie. The acting. The cheesy effects and keeping them on camera for way too long. The sound (the foley was seriously obsessed with footsteps in parts of this thing. It's ridiculous.)

The good: The camera work. The editing. The cheesy effects (some of them are actually pretty good, but most are laugh out loud funny). The music wasn't that bad.

I think that gives most people a rundown of whether they'll be able to handle it or not.

Imagine a film student in the 80s making a no budget horror movie about a man-eating tumor and maybe you'll give it a tiny bit more respect. Just a tiny bit.

I'm honestly not sure whether it's unintentionally hilarious or whether they meant it to be as funny as it is in parts. Definitely good to riff on. Good luck.

I actually enjoyed this movie to an extent. I mean, the gore was actually very decent. The acting, however, was the exact opposite. It was horrible. It did indeed suck crap from a straw, but it had it's moments. What I want to know is why it showed all of the killings and stuff at the beginning? That was really my only complaint. I love the idea of the movie. A guy is mad at his mother because she is believing everything a TV evangelist is saying and all that. Then, she coughs up this weird little tumor. Then, it miraculously makes it into her son. It turns into a big funny looking monster and it's habitat is his cabinets and washing machine. Anyways, he is possessed, and the thing supposedly makes him kill people so he can feed "The Abomination!" What's really funny is the overrunning commentary where he's talking to a psychologist or whatever kind of doctor it is. I really don't recommend this movie at all. I just strive on total cheesefests.

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.

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!...
