Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A vitamin drink delivered free to residents of idyllic housing development Pebbles Court provokes a series of ghastly body mutations. Two investigating cops trace the trouble to the futuristic 'health farm' of Dr Carrera (Smith) where guests are being used for crazed experiments. Despite its emetic preoccupations - exploding stomachs, elongating tongues, etc - this mordant debut feature is in fact less a splatterfest than a consumerist satire. It's overlaid with black humour and takes swipes at health fads, body building, soap operas and the false utopia of suburban living.Author: NF

- Posted on Apr 16 2010 16:32 Dean Measor does alot of voice work as an Actor, I remember hearing him on the radio alot in the early 90's. I also agree, the voice was very funny and so was Body Melt.
