Hilarious!

Apparently Belgium produces something other than chocolate; crap movies. This little gem was picked up by Troma, and it's easy to see why. Every character is nasty, and the makers have enough bad taste (and, dare I say it, guts?) to not only have a child killed, but dismembered. You don't see that in a lot of american movies. The make-up and gore effects are actually pretty good, compared to a lot of other Troma films.

The first half hour sure is slow, but the unpleasant characters and the unbelievably bad acting keep it entertaining. Unsurprisingly, most of the 'actors' never made any other films before or after this one. And rightly so, because they give some of the worst performances I have ever seen on screen. Nodding and grimassing at every line and dubbed in very unnatural british accents, they are more amateurish than a school play. Like the two gravediggers in Plan 9.

When things do get going, it's just your basic 'everyone gets picked off one by one in various imaginative ways' kind of plot. A lot of cut off limbs, Evil Dead-style slapstick violence and even more horrendous acting keep it enjoyable throughout. If you like that kind of thing, that is.

A Lesser Gore Comedy

This isn't a great movie. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone.There are some funny moments, and I wouldn't say I wasted my time (I laughed a few times and I got to write this review, so that's always fun), but overall there are infinitely better gore-comedies out there. If you want to see something like this, only done with a little more professionalism (and a lot more gore), try "Dead Alive" or "Bad Taste". Those movies are funnier, plus, if you watch "Bad Taste", you'll get to see director Peter Jackson as a zombie.

"Holy Water only works in the movies ya little horses arse!"

"They Love their grandchildren...well done!" This is the tag-line for the bizarre foreign horror flick "Rabid Grannies". This film is distributed by Troma films and despite the negative reviews it has received, I found it to be a lot of fun! Yes the acting is bad...the effects aren't terrible for a B movie but they aren't great either but that's not the point here. There are several horribly offensive scenes such as the one where the child is murdered or the one where the overweight gentleman literally has his ass eaten out. The murder of the priest is also religiously offensive but if you're a religious person, I doubt you'd be watching a film titled "Rabid Grannies". This film is just plain fun to watch...it has just the right amount of blood, guts, gore, murder, madness, mayhem with a little lesbianism and demonology thrown in for good measure!

rabid?

Ok I saw this film in 1990, that was over ten years ago. To this day I have a real problem even trying to watch this film. It is a little wierd but where eles can you see a movie about two old ladies that drink some wine then start eating the family. The most disturbing scean is where the little girl walks up the steps where the old woman sits in a rocking chair trying to get her to sit in her lap. That is gruesome. The film is ok and I give it a 6. But if gore is your thing watch Bad Taste, it came out the same year.

"rabid" transit

Now here's something cool! "Les mémés cannibales" ("Rabid Grannies" in English) is mostly a schlock-fest, but also poking fun at the lives of rich people. A pair of kindly old women are having their birthday party with the relatives present, but one of the presents is from a devil-worshiping nephew, and its contents turn both women into bloodthirsty monsters! Go figure!

The movie reminded me of Peter Jackson's "Braindead" (called "Dead-Alive" in the US) just a little bit, with also just a faint hit of the "Evil Dead" movies. The movie also lampoons the family's greed. For the most part, though, I think that the people making the movie just wanted to have fun and see what sorts of things they could show. The dubbing is terrible, but who cares about that? All in all, it's a very fun, disgustingly hilarious flick. Just the sort of movie for Troma to release.

Curiosidades
The French-speaking cast struggled with the English dialogue, and some actors simply remembered their lines phonetically. The footage was then overdubbed by actual English speakers, who had to follow the odd speech rhythms of the actors.

Elizabeth, the monster: Peek A Boo Father.
Father Percival: [Victoria scares Father Percival with her fingers] Aaaahhh.
Victoria, the monster: [Victoria hands over a machine gun to Father Percival] You know that we respect you Percival, yes. A man of God isn't just anyone. Elizabeth wants to torture you before we kill you, but i insisted that it be dearly painless because we like you very much Percival. Every time you smash a students fingers with a ruler, i say to my self... He's a vicious man, a bad priest. And we like bad priests, so pull the trigger. Why suffer, otherwise it's her way. And i promise you, your vocal cords will split. What do you think of that Percival.
Elizabeth, the monster: Don't listen to her. If you commit suicide, you know what's waiting for you. A priest who kills himself, hahahaha. You want to be damned, for just a few minutes of suffering you save your soul. No Percival, let me look after you. Be strong just once in your boring life, just once.
Victoria, the monster: But what she isn't telling you Percival, it's not her who's going to have her eyes pulled out. Or her knees broken, or her stomach eaten out. It's so hard for her, right sister. Think about Percival, i hope you see it all clearly. She's just waiting for you to play martyr, so she can make a human hamburger out of you. Don't let her do it, Percival. Kill yourself. After all, You never were a good priest.
Father Percival: NOOOOO...
Victoria, the monster: YEEEEESSSS
[Father Percival pulls the trigger and shoots himself]
Victoria, the monster: .
Victoria, the monster: I won, i won. Hahaha.

Versões alternativas
The French-Canadian VHS release on the Videoville Showtime label was distributed under the French title 'Grand-mère mange les pissenlits par la racine' meaning 'Grannie is eating the dandelions by the roots', a different title than the one that was used in France which was of course 'Les mémés cannibales'.
