The movie with outrageous taste.

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.

Looking at the video box or movie poster, you might think this is going to be another spoof of those silly 1950's horror films involving radiation poisoned giant animals. You are so wrong. In a nutshell, a meteor crashes to earth and a chunk is ingested by a former nun waiting for her boyfriend to be released from prison. Her tongue grows to about ten feet long, and eventually talks to her. Hijinks of the most offensive order ensue. This is such an off-the-wall surreal nightmare that you must see it to believe it. So many scenes can only be mentioned by their generic names but watch out for the port-a-potty scene, the bathtub scene, the confessional scene, and the super glue scene. This somehow escaped with an (R) rating. It has a lot of material that kids should not see, but this is also one of the funniest films out there. Robert Englund, as the prison director, gives a better performance here than in all the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films combined. He shows that his acting genius does not have to include fright makeup, and he should have been allowed to do more of these over-the-top horror comedies. The entire cast looks like they were having a lot of fun here, and it rubs off on the viewer in the right mood.
