Oh, mio Dio! Mia madre è cannibale

I LOVE this movie! It's one of the absolute WORST productions of a film I've ever seen. The acting, the directing, the special effects, even the lighting absolutely STINK! The scene with the two kids getting high and laughing their butts off talking about her mother eating her baby brother just had me ROLLING on the floor it was so poorly done. The very idea of a sexually transmitted zombie virus is so stupid I can't for a second believe anyone meant this movie to be taken seriously. A must-see if, like me, you're a fan of the hilariously god-awful!

that plays out like a Scooby Doo adventure directed by a young John Waters. Acting and script right up there with the likes of Flesh Gordon, and possibly made on an even smaller budget. Mostly lame S/E and make up, though some reasonably well done gore. But great fun, and certainly entertaining. For fans of Troma, and kitsch comedy horror !

One can truthfully say that Flesh Eating Mothers is one of the worst horror movies ever written, directed, and acted. But one can also say that for pure camp enjoyment, there are few movies that are its equal. Insane, irreverent, and utterly incredible, Flesh Eating Mothers is a must-see for all those who enjoy watching awful movies more than they enjoy seeing good ones.

I am a B-Horror Movie junkie. I am an avid collector of blood-soaked schlock. Bad horror movies, in my eyes, "complete the circle" (its so bad it becomes good again by circling back up the quality loop) "Flesh Eating Mothers" is one of the only movies that I've ever seen that pulls a 520 on said loop. It is so bad that it surpasses the good mark and circles back down to the very bottom. I don't know how it did it, but it sure did. The film had all the tools to be a great cheesy horror flick. An 'out there' premise incorporating zombies, some corny-yet-amusing humor, sex, violence...in its respective field, it should have been a homerun! However, the very things that could have made it into a good-bad movie ultimately lead to its demise. The script became too corny, the plot became way too drawn out, the sex and violence became very sparse, and the action was just too too bad. It is up there with the most painfully long 89 minutes in film history.

As a lover of bad film, I cannot turn those brave enough to pop this one into their players away. By all means, see it so that you may form your own opinions. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Depending on your state of mind and personal standards (obviously mine were very low this time), "Flesh Eating Mothers" can be considered a delightful and charming low-budget late 80's splatter comedy. Of course this is pretty stupid, but if you go into this expected anything else than inane and offensive trash, you only have yourselves to blame people! In a happy little suburban community, the middle-aged mommies suddenly all synchronously develop cannibalistic appetites and begin to devour their husbands and children. The cause of all this tomfoolery is a venereal infection caused by overactive and hyper-sleazy jogging Casanova. Oh he's quite the "stud", all right, especially with his massively hairy chest and smooth talking skills. The adolescents try to fight back, as well as a fugitive copper (the first reasonable man to shoots his cannibalistic wife straight through the head) and a really short coroner. "Flesh Eating Mothers" is a nice and tacky time-waster with cheesy gore effects that are explicit but nevertheless too absurd to shock anyone. For example, there's a particular sequence in which a bunch of women literally tear apart a security guard. The scene is gross but at the same time quite hilarious. Yeah, the execution is pretty clumsy, but hey, at least this film is a lot better than the similarly themed (but also enjoyable) "Rabid Grannies". The teenager characters are surprisingly likable and the goofy soundtrack is irresistibly cheerful. Also, the script contains a lot of really lame and clichéd humor that you can't help but laugh at. Even if they're cannibals, the women remain concerned whether or not they turned off the oven before leaving the house and even in between human meals they debate their silverware. The midget coroner finds love in the arms of a doctor's assistant who's about twice his size and, when seen through a microscope, the venereal disease looks like a badly animated cartoon. The absolute OTT offensive highlight of "Flesh Eating Mothers" features two hungry wives fighting over a cat and literally break it in two. Watch it, if you have a wretched sense of humor!
