Coventry 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!

jwilliams-bonusstage Agreed. Wretched movie, but when I first saw this movie, I was 9 years old, and this and Troll 2 totally creeped me out to no end! I kept thinking that my mom was going to eat me and stuff. Since I love milk, she still, to this day, asks me "Have you had your milk today?". I want to find this on DVD, as I'm sure it's absolutely hilarious to watch now!My only question seriously is whether Eli Roth would be up for doing a sequel or update to this film. I hate his work, personally, and Hostel was a pathetic film. Nonetheless, he's the current king of gore IMO, so it would be nice to see him give this film a much needed update for the younger crowd!

CMRKeyboadist 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

Paul Andrews This absolutely wretchedly bad film opens with Commissioner Dixon (Ken Eaton) running through a wood with one of his arms missing, blood dripping onto the ground. He sees his wife Elisa (Lori Gustafson) turns round and fire his shotgun. Roddy Douglas (Louis Homyak) is the local stud who appears to be having, or has had in the past an affair with just about every woman in the film. Nurse Felicia Dodd (Carolyn Gratsch) informs her boss, Dr. Bass (Allen Lewis Rickman as Allen Rickman) that a sample taken from Douglas has been tested and she has some surprising results, Dr. Bass doesn't seem interested. Meanwhile there has been various instances of cannibalism among the towns female community. Sheriff Clyde McDormick (Mickey Ross) visits his ex-wife Lous (Marie Micheals) and finds her eating their son Billy (Scott Lerner). He shoots her. Other acts of cannibalism occur, Roddy's wife Sylvia (Katherine Mayfield) eats their baby, for instance. It soon becomes clear that Roddy has passed on some sort of viral disease that only affects women that have had children, it's as stupid as it sounds just don't ask. McDormick teams up with the local coroner Dr. Lee Grouley (Micheal Fuer) to try and figure out whats going on. Meanwhile the flesh-eating mothers remaining offspring Linda Douglas (Donatella Hecht), Joyce Shepard (Valorie Hubbard), Jeff Nathan (Robert Lee Oliver), Timmy Nolan (Terry Hayes) and Rinaldi Vivaldo (Neal Rosen) decide to take responsibility for their mothers actions and also set out to try and stop them.Co-written, co-produced and directed by the extremely untalented James Aviles Martin I hated this film. Simply hated it. Everything about it is absolutely terrible. The photography is of home camcorder quality, the music is awful as well, the sound is so badly recorded I could barely hear what people were saying and James mate, next time you want to record live sound make sure it's not next to a busy main road! It would be nice to actually hear what the characters were saying, you know what I mean? Production design is none existent, the whole film appears to be shot in about three different streets and some of the cast and crews houses. The gore is pretty tame, there's a bitten off arm, a few gunshot wounds and a sequence where a cop is eaten, but it looks awful. When Dr. Grouley and Felicia are examining some blood samples the microscopic image of the cells are hand drawn animation, it's the first time I've ever seen blood cells with faces and arms! I'm not joking, seriously the filmmakers depict blood under a microscope as cartoon characters bumping into each other! The script by Aviles Martin and Zev Schlasinger is predictably rubbish, boring, stupid, nothing happens for any reason and the dialogue sounds like it was written (and with the actors on show delivered) by a five year old. This is the kind of film that has a great eye-catching cool sounding title and gory over the top artwork on the video box but in the end is total crap, we've all been conned in this way. Please don't waste your time watching this film, I hated it, simple as that really. If I can can prevent, no save just one person from watching this piece of sewer scum by writing this review then it's been worth it. Probably one of the worst horror films I've ever had the misfortune to sit through, once again please avoid this crap at all costs!
