Always a good ride.
A bit slow at first, but got better and better! Some of the best visceral horror I've ever seen. Amazing performances by Combs and Crampton.
Quite a coincidence that I had the very end with the scary cackle burned in my brain my whole life, but I could not remember what movie it was from and I happen upon it today. 40-year mystery finally solved! Thanks, Shudder!
Overrated, but good enough to watch ONCE.
Well, I can see why this one didn't become as much of a cult classic as Re-Animator did! Wet sloppy slimy practical body horror is always a blast, though. Body horror IS the most sexual of the horror types, but even so this one pushes it a bit with, as other reviews are saying, straight-up softcore in between. Really fun, cool premise, but full of holes and a little inconsistent. Jeff Combs is his usual beady-eyed freak & that's fantastic, but he doesn't command as much a presence in this one as you'd expect from him.
