This movie is wet and wild, in every possible definition of the phrase. Quite possibly the wettest and wildest movie I've ever seen. It is moist. It gets REAL WEIRD. It has become one of my comfort re-watch movies. Also has one of my all time fave crazed laughter moments. 4 skulls outta 5, only because of the unfortunate happenings involving my boy Jeffrey Combs' hair.
intresting premise that doesn't go anywhere intresting. Used getting into BDSM as a sign that people are becoming evil/corrupted, I'm sure this frightened the elderly in the 80's but today it's just comical. The few occasions when body horror is shown the effects are competent but you'll have to put up with the boring dialogue and soft core porn scenes that fill in the space between the good parts. 2 stars only because the first 10 minutes are great and the occasional special effects are well done.
Oh, BTW- makes the Nic Cage Colour Out of Space silliness look somehow passable, if you get my drift. *Sigh*- even more depressing that Guillermo del Toro didn't get to make his lifelong dream of the definitive Lovecraft movie. Just go read the books.
I remember seeing this when it came out- 1986 was a long time ago. I must have forgotten, but it's hard to describe how terrible this actually is. Incoherent stupidity this bad is hard to imagine. Junk food of the worst kind possible. Don't take my word for it, (one skull for the morbidly curious) see for yourself.
Def not for the faint of heart, total far out B movie, gruesome, gooey sci fi slime fest with a tinge of s&m from the dude that made Disney’s Honey I Shrunk the Kids 🍿🍿🍿1/2
