Favourite line:"The abomination, he is timeless. his evil spans eternity...."

Ultra low budget horror, which is as twisted as it is cheap.
The plot is thus - weird looking chap still lives with his Mom.
His Mom has some form of cancer.
One day, his Mom vomits up the cancer, and it turns out to be some form of parasitical alien lifeform, that now requires fresh human flesh and blood in order to grow.
Man sticks the living tumour in a cupboard in the kitchen, and goes out for the meat.
And that's it!!!
Thing is, as cheap and nasty as it is, I bloody loved it. It's got such a sleazy feel to it, though there is no nudity it must be pointed out, that this was a spine tingling pleasure.
Add in the fact that the opening three minutes or so is a montage of all of the moments of gore you are about to witness, and this is a real hoot.
