SUPER 8 CULT CLASSIC “THE ABOMBINATION” TO BE RELEASED ON BLU-RAY

A Super-8 cult classic returns with a bloody vengeance! Gory horror film THE ABOMINATION is finally coming to modern home markets with an extensive number of special features. Released on VHS in 1986, this video store monster movie is set to be released by Blu-ray label VISUAL VENGEANCE, with a slew of features including (but not limited to) interviews with cast and crew, outtakes and a physical booklet.

When an evangelist exorcizes a cancerous growth from a follower in rural Texas, it turns out that, unbeknownst to anyone, the growth actually is a ravenous, parasitic, carnivorous demonic creature. Finding its way into Cody, the son of the religious zealot, the creature takes control and forces him to find victims to feed on. With every kill it grows more and more threatening, leaving bloody destruction in its wake.

THE ABOMINATION, directed by Bret McCormick and starring Scott Davis, Brad McCormick, Blue Thompson, Victoria Chaney and Rex Morton comes to Blu-ray from Visual Vengeance on September 29. Watch the trailer now!
