Flesh Eating Mothers (1988)

The film has a clever idea. An STD is transmitted from Roddy Douglas (Louis Homyak) to all of his conquests. The virus turns women who have had children in flesh eaters including super human strength and zombie teeth.The film had Troma style body parts and blood squirts, but lacked the character and dialogue to be a cult classic.Okay as a rental. "Breathless" is a superior film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No nudity. Adult themes.

Well, Flesh Eating Mothers is definitely as "B" a movie as they come. Although, anyone who knows anything about "B" horror films will realize that this is by far not the worst out of the genre. Flesh Eating Mothers is a film with tacky comedy, a few decent gore moments, and several little kids getting eaten.Basically, a venereal disease gets out in a small suburban town and a group of about 6 mothers catch the disease. It starts out with simple hunger then mutates into blood thirst. Soon after, these mothers don't know what they are doing and start eating their children and everyone else around them. The only hope for the town is a group of teenagers that won't stand by and see their mothers eating everyone. How can they stop the onslaught? I first saw this movie back in 1998 when I worked at a Video Warehouse. I had just about seen every horror film in there except for Flesh Eating MOthers and head to rent it. Well, I liked it enough to search for it 7 years later and now have a fairly decent copy of the film. Whether it is uncut, I don't know. But the gore is adequate in the film with a few scenes here and there. The best gore scene is when one of the mothers rips the side of her husbands face off. The acting was as expected, bad. But could have been even worse. The script was bad. Most of the movie was bad. Don't get me wrong, it is still a fun movie, just don't be expecting to see something like "Brain Dead" or "Premutos". 6/10

My brother was the boy in the frying pan on the cover of the movie. We Lived in Jersey City at the time and personally knew the artist who illustrated the picture. He was about 7 or 8 years old at the time. He was given a signed copy of the poster but unfortunately a boy of his age has a tendency to lose things. We still to this day have never seen the movie.Really want to see it so I figure we will get it from direct DVD considering Amazon claims it doesn't come out on DVD until May.I had looked it up awhile back and the VHS versions were going for about sixty dollars for used copies. Talk about overpriced. Is this movie really as bad as many people have posted?

Oddly enough, this is a Christian splatter film that comments religiously against adultery. I'm not Christian, but that's not what soured me on this crap. This is just one of the crappiest movies out there, and I don't judge these movies over continuity errors involving glasses of milk either. It's a horror-comedy that could only be funny if you look for everything they did wrong. The gore FX have their no-budget moments, but any kind of FX never make a movie a good movie, no matter how big a plus they can be. This was just a dull, excruciating mess. There's really nothing else I can say about this junk, and I would recommend "Back from Hell" instead, which is a great no-budget, Christian splatter film.
