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.

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 !
This is a fine example of bad acting and effects taken to just the right extreme to make for a cult classic! There's one bad line after another to make you chuckle and of course plenty of scenes that make you say "What the heck was that?" or "Wait a minute...what just happened?". The plot is good...a sexually transmitted disease is spread around town by the local gigolo which is only effective in women who have had children. The result? Biddies that bite! This little gem leaves very little to the imagination arms are chewed off, babies are eaten, and penises are devoured! A lot of fun...great to watch while you're drinking!
Ever had one of those days when your mum eyes you hungrily, yearning for your torn, dying carcass? Well, FLESH-EATING MOTHERS has you covered!
It seems that a strange, new STD is being transmitted by a single carrier male to all of his SAHM (Stay At Home Mum) partners. The unwitting females soon become hyper-aggressive, super-strong cannibals with a hankering for friends, family members, or anyone who wanders into biting range.
Let the madness unfold!
This obviously low-budget movie makes the best of its situation, resulting in a bloody good time for the viewer. Yes, the acting is creaky, the dialogue is silly, and the plot is ridiculous. However, you can tell that everyone involved was just going along and having fun with it.
There's plenty of crimson sauce and meaty tidbits for the true connoisseur of carnage. Enjoy, and don't forget to floss...
