If nothing else, this throwback to the old low-budget psychotronic films of the '50s and '60s is uniquely stylish, even kitschy. A Spanish-British production it is set in New Mexico (but filmed in Spa... read more read more...in) and chronicles the twisted adventures of Candy, a thief and con artist who accidentally ingests part of a meteorite and grows an enormous serpentine talking tongue that has a special taste for human flesh. It all begins after Candy and her partner Johnny pull off their latest job. Johnny gets caught and takes the entire rap and Candy flees to a nunnery/gas station in the desert after hiding their loot. Her four pastel dyed poodles accompany her. Soon after her arrival, the meteor crashes as she eats soup with a bit of the space rock in it. She then gives some to the doggies. While the voracious alien appendage grows in her mouths, her poochies turn into drag queens. They help her procure a steady supply of food. Poor Candy tries to cut the horrible thing out of her mouth but to no avail. She finally begs Johnny to escape and help her. He does, but is pursued by a sadistic prison warden. Unfortunately Johnny gets too close to the meteorite as does a speechless nun. When that happens, real chaos ensues. The film contains gory scenes. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is absolutely bizarre, sick and insanely stupid. I was stunned and amazed at the sheer stupidity. It is imaginative, but with a movie this bad it doesn't matter.

    Poodles dyed different colors, Melinda Clarke in vinyl/leather, Robert Englund as Chief Screw! Wonderful alien falls to earth story.

    Okay, I gave this three stars just because it made me laugh so much. It was BAAAD, but it was hilarious. Robert Englund was great. And that talking tongue trying to fold baby diapers... Well, I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

Sometimes you can know a stinker from its title, and, indeed, something by the name of Killer Tongue has 'crap' written all over it. Full Review
