There’re good films, there’re bad films, and then there’s The Abomination. Heavy Pictures continue their winning run of video nasties and no-budget horror with this basement screening of a bonafide Super 8 bloodbath. Televangelist exorcisms, murderous teethed tumours and gallons of ketchup are all present and (in)correct for this absolute face-melter - abysmal DIY cinema at its absolute best.

Pedal steel punk from Blackbird Raum alumnus Cas P. Ian, trading in anarcho-folk for an unruly new breed of country garage. Twisted Teens are wailing, fuzzy, languid and snotty all at once, like a fried Sheer Mag/White Wires crossover.
