Body Melt (1993) ★½

Body Melt

Overview

The first phase is hallucinogenic…the second phase is glandular…and the third phase is…BODY MELT.

Residents of peaceful Pebbles Court, Homesville, are being used unknowingly as test experiments for a new ‘Body Drug’ that causes rapid body decomposition (melting skin etc.) and painful death.

Review

More fever dream than body horror. I was in for bodies melting, imploding, exploding, decomposing…a brainless, gooey good time. I was disappointed that there wasn’t more flesh melting death scenes. But the movie was indeed strange and brainless. A lot didn’t gel well, didn’t connect well with the plot as effective humor. Maybe it wasn’t in the budget, but the more bodies exploding, disintegrating and liquefying, the better a movie such as this would go over.

If you’re looking for something gross and outlandishly stupid, Body Melt might fit in well in your watchlist.
