Overview
A mother obsessed with mind-altering televangelism consequently vomits a pulsating growth that slithers down the throat of her son during the night. Upon spewing the parasite, the son is driven by an uncontrollable force to murder and feed corpses to the now-multiple-toothed monsters manifesting throughout the house. This gory, shot-on-Super-8 regional rarity is a micro-budget salute to H.G. Lewis and H.P. Lovecraft. — Evan Husney, Drafthouse Films

Viewing Notes
It’s is movie of extents: extended screaming, extended bloodletting, extended bowel moving, and extended walking with extended sound effects of walking. For a movie released in 1986, it feels like a movie set in 1978 in TexasArkansas. But, the monster effects and certain character beats are entertaining in that cheap low budget way. Plus, we get a reenactment of how Elvis REALLY died on the toilet.
