The Abomination [Collector's Edition]

Deep in the heart of rural Texas, a TV evangelist exorcises a tumor from the body of a loyal worshipper, who soon coughs up the growth. Unknown to her, the cancer is actually a carnivorous life form that slithers its way into her son Cody while he sleeps, growing inside him until he is completely under its control. Now Cody must feed the beast fresh victims to keep them both alive, as the monster grows out larger and larger, threatening to feast on everyone in its path. One of the most legendary and notorious VHS releases of the video store era, Bret McCormicks's Super 8 gorefest The Abomination enjoys its first ever release on Blu-ray with newly created bonus features and never before seen outtakes, images and more!

Press Quotes

There is every other movie in the world and then there's The Abomination.

     —B&S About Movies

The Abomination is a lo-fidelity symphony of bodily noise. It was my thing, my nasty, gloopy, scuzzy, lovely thing.

     —Confluence of Cult

Quite a memorable little oddity with it's bible-infused weirdness, rivers of blood and odd sound effects.

     —Girls, Guns and Ghouls

All the stars have to align just right to make something so unique and perfectly horrible as THE ABOMINATION. It's truly one of a kind.

     —Happy Otter

The Abomination is a gut-churning experience in homemade extreme gorror at its finest.

     —Lost Video Archive

The Abomination is one of those films that gets talked about in circles where people discuss bizarre and forgotten oddities of the VHS era.

     —Moria Reviews

The Abomination is a genuine abomination of surreal homegrown splatter filmmaking complete with droning synthesizers, library music, monotone acting and direction, and oodles of gore.

     —Obscure Cinema 101

THE ABOMINATION is a little bit BASKET CASE, a little bit LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and a little bit SHIVERS, with a few nods to ALIEN and BRAIN DAMAGE tossed in for good measure.

     —You Have Died of Dysentery
