Cody (Scott Davis) is still (just about) young enough to live with his
mother (Jude Johnson), but old enough to know that the televangelist she's
always watching, Brother Fogg (Rex Morton) is a phony. That said, in one
of his shows, Brother Fogg helps mum to cough out the tumor that has been
bugging her for some time now. Cody is unaware of this of course, and he's
also unaware to the fact that the tumor has come to life and that day
creeps into his mouth, almost choking him. Somehow, the tumor not only
turns Cody into a breeding station but also into a killing machine, as the
tumor and its offspring needs to be fed of course, and of course it's
human flesh the tumors prefer on their menu. And while the tumors move
into Cody's kitchen cupboards and washing machine, Cody kills quite a few
people, from his best friends (Brad McCormick, Suzy Meyer) to his boss
(Bubba Moore) to his mother to his girlfriend (Blue Thompson), but he has
at least the decency to kill Brother Fogg as well, and of course it's not
long before the situation spins wildly out of control ... Now
while this movie's aesthetics clearly identify it as a child of the 1980s,
in both story and direction it harks back to grindhouse fodder from the
1960s and 70s - and in a pretty brilliant way, too, as its creature's so
reminiscent of Little Shop of
Horrors it almost instantly creates a retro-feel while the blood
flows so freely it would make Herschell Gordon Lewis proud. That said, for
a film of its ilk, The Abomination is actually pretty well directed
and doesn't cut too many corners to make the story fit the budget, all of
which makes this just a really fun genre ride from yesteryear.
