Fans of Shot-on-Video microbudget horror, particularly the gory variety, it’s your lucky day: Super 8 splatter film The Abomination is heading to Blu-ray in September.
Visual Vengeance, a Blu-ray label dedicated to vintage ‘Shot on Video’ and microbudget genre independents from the 1980s through 2000s, revealed today that they’re releasing The Abomination on September 29, 2023.
The 1986 horror feature was written and directed by Bret McCormick.
A creature feature that centers around a tumorous, parasitic entity that takes up residence in human bowels creates the perfect setup for one bloodbath horror movie.
The Abomination‘s synopsis: 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.
Visual Vengeance’s The Abomination release comes loaded with special features.
