    The Sadir of Horror Movies

    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.

    Funny. I felt like my brain was being eaten.

    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.

    A Campy Tromatic Experience

    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 !

    Wonderfully Awful

    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!

    Always stupid, but sometimes fun

    Well, this film has pretty much everything you would probably expect in a movie called "Flesh Eating Mothers". It has poor effects, a weak story, and of course, there are some AMAZINGLY bad actors. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that this is a bad movie. In fact, it's rather funny at times, and some of these laughs even seemed to be intentional. In fact, if it wasn't for a predictable and generally dull conclusion, I'd probably recommend this to people. As it is, it's not a bad way to kill 90 minutes, especially if you like low-budget stupidity.

      In the STD check-up scene, it is revealed that the disease is caused by a virus, but in the end it is cured with penicillin, an antibiotic, which only fight bacterial infections, and would have no effect on a virus.
