Very well executed

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ultra low budget horror, which is as twisted as it is cheap. The plot is thus - weird looking chap still lives with his Mom. His Mom has some form of cancer. One day, his Mom vomits up the cancer, and it turns out to be some form of parasitical alien lifeform, that now requires fresh human flesh and blood in order to grow. Man sticks the living tumour in a cupboard in the kitchen, and goes out for the meat. And that's it!!! Thing is, as cheap and nasty as it is, I loved it. It's got such a sleazy feel to it, though there is no nudity it must be pointed out, that this was a spine tingling pleasure. Add in the fact that the opening three minutes or so is a montage of all of the moments of gore you are about to witness, and this is a real hoot.

The Abomination has everything a gore-hound looks for, yet it is an absolute disaster. It starts off with a dream that looks more like a trailer, showing the goriest parts of the film. This makes it look cool and interesting, and you expect an entertaining gore-fest. However once the real film starts you will be praying for it to end. There is tons of cheap gore and blood on display, but everything is let down by the acting (amongst other things!). The "actors" have no energy whatsoever - they're not even "so bad they're good". Some bad films can actually be hilarious to watch, such as The Suckling or They Don't Cut The Grass Anymore, but The Abomination is just dull and lifeless. The creature itself looks quite similar to The Deadly Spawn, and had more thought gone into the film itself this could have been a cult classic. Never mind. The music is quite cool in a cheesy way, and gets stuck in your head. It's like something from an old computer game. As bad as it is, I would give The Abomination a watch if you can find it cheap (it's on DVD would you believe!) as it may be the most bizarre film you will ever see.

I feel they should have honored this movie which a much more appealing title…Something like "The touching tale of a boy and his tumor", for example…or maybe even "The barf that ate my friends and family"! Either way you look at it, this has got to be one of the sickest and most demented movies someone ever thought up! Following the good old 80's splatter rules, "The Abomination" totally ignores atmosphere and substance, going straight for an immeasurable amount of gore. The opening sequence alone already contains more blood and guts than a hundred other horror films and easily offended people will immediately stop watching. This vicious intro is a compilation of the film' grossest moments and for some incomprehensible reason it completely spoils the rest of the movie before it even properly begun. "The Abomination" introduces us to a family of white trash in the wastelands of America. An adolescent boy with a dead end job and a mother whose obsessed by a TV-guru. One day, mommy pukes out a tumor and it immediately takes possession of the boy. The constantly growing tumor forces the boy to kill people and serve their bodies as lunch! Call me insane but I somewhat like basic idea… It's more or less a very perverted update of the "Little Shop of Horrors" premise, directed by Roger Corman in 1960. The budget is extremely low and the cast is a bunch of amateur hillbillies with nothing better to do. In case your horror-standards are low, this is perfect gory entertainment. We're talking axes, chainsaws, slit throats, severed limbs, pitchfork-killings and entire buckets of human guts (literally). In the film's most redundant sequence, we witness how the infamous TV-guru takes a dump in his office toilet…. Talking about tastelessness! One piece of advice: this movie goes well with beer. Loads and loads of beer….and vomit bags.

There is NO reason to see this film. Not only are the effects super cheesy, but the acting is horrible, the 'suspenseful' parts are lame, and the film has little to no continuity. The Abomination makes 'Bloody New Year' look like a Scorsese film. I recommend watching paint dry over this movie.
