Killer Tongue
“The movie with outrageous taste.”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A meteorite leaves a fugitive with a monstrous tongue and transforms her poodles into flamboyant companions. Alberto Sciamma's horror comedy commits to an aggressively strange collision of body horror and camp. The practical tongue effects supply the strongest reason to venture into its explicit, uneven world.
