The Killer Tongue

Melinda Clarke stars as the latex-clad Candy, a beautiful bank robber hiding out at a desert gas station run by nuns while awaiting her boyfriend's release from prison. After being exposed to a falling piece of alien meteorite, Candy grows an extremely long homicidal tongue with a taste for human flesh, while her pet poodles--who have also been exposed--transform into flamboyant drag queens. This oddball, absurdly comic Spanish production has developed a wide cult following, probably due to its unusual tone, which lies somewhere between ALIEN and PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT. Features supporting turns by HELLRAISER's Doug "Pinhead" Bradley and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's Robert Englund. (Verleiher-Text)
