The Verdict

A husband in a troubled marriage discovers that his wife has two lovers: one is a man, while the other is a tentacled creature born from her own mind. A strange film that begins as a drama before venturing into nearly gory horror territory, complete with severed heads in the refrigerator and other grotesque imagery, with a distinctly Cronenbergian quality in its depiction of the monstrous creature.

The special effects are by Carlo Rambaldi. The lead performances are excellent, featuring Sam Neill (In the Mouth of Madness, Point of No Return) and Isabelle Adjani (Nosferatu by Herzog).
