Adrian Torque is a renegade cop who has lost more than half of his skin in a terrorist explosion. His missing flesh has been replaced with the tongue meat recovered from the sixteen victims that died during the tragedy. Ginny Chin-Chin is a genetically engineered sex-worker / assassin chasing down the scientist who implanted her sex organs under the folds of her eyelids. Alik Silens is a wearied computer hacker hunting through the pornographic abyss of cyberspace for the identity of her brother’s killer. At a run-down, S&M hotel purgatory where even the strangest desires can be met for a price, the trajectories of this star-crossed trio intersect in a claustrophobic collision of sex, blood, bullets, and personal apocalypse.

The sophomore feature from innovative and visionary New York based video auteur Scooter McCrae SIXTEEN TONGUES is a transgressive, dystopian chamber piece that fuses cyberpunk imagery, psychosexual malaise, and austere surrealist delirium.

“Absolute freak shit here. Take Cronenberg and ratchet up the depravity tenfold. An aggressive, pornographic descent toward the agonizing limits of this life in flesh. Incredible feat to build a futuristic atmosphere with just two rooms and a hallway.” - Greg Holly

“The SOV sensibilities and rubber penis props are gonna be a turnoff to all the people who should be writing papers about this citing Fredric Jameson.” - Michael Deforge
