If you always had a hunch that "Bad Taste" was a tad too intellectual and over-produced then treat yourself to this turd. It is easier to enumerate the aspects of this creation that don't suck: editing, camera work, and lighting. Actually, considering the shoestring Budget this piece of manure must have been created on the former three departments did a rather good job! The gore is at times quite nice, too. I liked the toddler and the cat scene. Writing, casting, acting, score and most of all directing are so poor it makes a 1980's porno firm (those that actually included a plot) turn purple in shame. Stay away from this turd at all cost. This 'movie' is too bad to even serve as a bad example.

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!

Oh my... I didn't expect much, not even anything at all, but still, it fell short on my expectations. I'd say that this is one of the dumbest movies I ever saw... Honestly, I turned my TV off after nearly half an hour, because I couldn't stand it anymore. The actors were as bad as it can get. I wanted to punch every single one of them in the face when they appeared on screen. I watched the special edition, uncut and all, and still there were nearly no splatter scenes at all (Usually you can still make the bad actors and the missing story up if you have some good splatter scenes) and the special effects sucked badly. And hey, of course, if your mother eats your little brother you don't go to the police. You just scream (With no facial expression at all) and then you run off, smoking a cigarette with some guy and don't mind telling him.I want that half hour of my life back. I could've used it to watch something good.So, please, don't you watch this! Go buy Braindead, The Re-Animator or Bad Taste!

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?
