Jonathan T This movie is awful and I love it! The opening feels like a fever dream. It has a loose plot, at best. The gore effects are both amazing and terrible. It's kind of hard to explain. Don't think about it. Just watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Audience Member There is every other movie in the world and then there's The Abomination. No hype. This movie is absolutely brain destroying junk transmitted from some terrifying alternate timeline that I hope and pray never reaches our own. It's a world where televangelist Brother Fogg can pray a tumor out of a woman, who vomits it out, and then that tumor crawls into her son who undergoes a transformation into a killing machine that feeds the many spores of the creature and pushes forward the end of all things. This is also the kind of movie that starts with a blast forward of all the gore that you're about to see in this movie and still not feel boring when that gore comes back. And man, that gore comes back and takes over the world of this movie, transforming protagonist Cory's home into a panormama of teeths and blood and muscle and sinew and gristle and gore. Man, what's wrong with Texas? Or right? This movie feels like it wasn't released and that it escaped, like it should have been destroyed before it infected anyone's brain but here it is, hiding in its low-fi menace out there waiting for people to watch it and wonder, "Why are people driving so much?" when they aren't wretching from the endless parade of blood and viscera being literally thrown at the screen and the dubbed soundtrack which makes me love this movie even more, because when you put your budget into gigantic monsters that emerge from appliances and kitchen nooks, you don't have the cash for synched sound. Director and writer Bret McCormick also made parts of Tabloid and the films Time Tracers and Repligator. Even at this early stage, he's showing off a real eye of how to use the budget and how pretty much frighten you through the sheer strangeness of what he's created. This isn't a perfect movie but perfection is an ideal that cannot exist. This is The Abomination. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those movies that has no plot. The sound effects are so terrible that it's genius. I rated this 3 stars because I was unbelievably amused and surprisingly disturbed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A heavy gore-fest that doesn't deliver on much else. The editing is really confusing, and many scenes are used over. It doesn't help that the film appears to be a dream with narration, only to lead to more confusion during the credits. But it is a fun late-night gross-out zany b-movie, with interesting creature effects and humorous characters. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The Abomination isn't a good movie. Like, at all. It does have great creature FX, an interesting storyline that could have been scary, and oodles of blood for the gorehounds. It's weakest (and perhaps most entertaining) asset is the awful, horrible, complete TRASH acting. People get their hand munched off with as much enthusiasm as paying their taxes. It's hilarious, especially when the guy from the auto service stuck his hand into the cooler. The Abomination has a surprisingly huge cult following. The VHS sells for outrageous prices and you might as well win the lottery if you can find it for under $50. It doesn't live up to the hype, but its got enough gore, monstrous tumors, and cheese to keep me entertained for an hour and a half.
