Da fuuuuuck...?!
This one I did not see coming. In any way. I am a huge Brian Yuzna fan and I thought I had seen his best work. His 80s and 90s stuff is all really solid, and I love the effects heavy creepy demented shit him and Stuart Gordon did in their heyday. Well, I didn't know shit, cause I hadn't seen one of his true masterpieces.
Who'd have thought that 4 movies in, ditching the Christmas thing entirely, and taking this in a lesbian worm infestation plot was the right move for this series? Now immediately, I'll say this movie should not have been titled what it was. This should be a horror movie called Initiation or whatever, and should never have been tied to the SNDN franchise or series. Likely this would be known more also if that were the case, and let me tell you, this should be known more.
Maud Adams from James Bond stars as the sexy lesbian-ish seductress who leads a female parasite cult type thing that main character Kim encounters and gets drawn into as she works as a reporter on a case of spontaneous combustion. The combustion seems that it was caused by the women, and as they seduce her with Clint Howard as a creepy weirdo, Kim begins to get in deeper and deeper.
The practical effects in this thing are top notch, the lesbian stuff is all really sexy and done right, the main actress pulls it off, and the linear qualities keep you knowing whats happening. When this hits full stride you're watching it truly pulled in, disgusted, titillated, and freaked da fuck out.
Disturbing, unique, and having the best of Yuzna is really nice, and Maud Adams as well, this thing just works. Well. I give this 4.5 stars.
