Looking at the video box or movie poster, you might think this is going to be another spoof of those silly 1950's horror films involving radiation poisoned giant animals. You are so wrong. In a nutshell, a meteor crashes to earth and a chunk is ingested by a former nun waiting for her boyfriend to be released from prison. Her tongue grows to about ten feet long, and eventually talks to her. Hijinks of the most offensive order ensue. This is such an off-the-wall surreal nightmare that you must see it to believe it. So many scenes can only be mentioned by their generic names but watch out for the port-a-potty scene, the bathtub scene, the confessional scene, and the super glue scene. This somehow escaped with an (R) rating. It has a lot of material that kids should not see, but this is also one of the funniest films out there. Robert Englund, as the prison director, gives a better performance here than in all the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films combined. He shows that his acting genius does not have to include fright makeup, and he should have been allowed to do more of these over-the-top horror comedies. The entire cast looks like they were having a lot of fun here, and it rubs off on the viewer in the right mood.

It's like weird fetish porn that someone edited all of the sex scenes out of. Three stars just because Robert Englund as a sadistic, gay prison warden is actually pretty hot and there's vague romantic chemistry between him and Doug Bradley's character. If the film had been all about that it would have been AMAZING.

This is a pretty terrible b movie even for troma movie type standards (see also: Tromeo and Juliet or killer condom) the acting is bad, of course but without the necessary element to becoming a beloved cult classic

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is absolutely bizarre, sick and insanely stupid. I was stunned and amazed at the sheer stupidity. It is imaginative, but with a movie this bad it doesn't matter.

An aggressively over-the-top and incoherent spectacle that almost never makes sense.

Sometimes you can know a stinker from its title, and, indeed, something by the name of Killer Tongue has 'crap' written all over it.
