The Worst Film Ever

The Age of Commercialism

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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 !

In a small town, the mothers unexpectedly become cannibals, eating their husbands and children. The police officer Cylde McDormick (Mickey Ross) kills his ex-wife when she attacks him after eating their son, but the chief of police Dixon (Ken Eaton) accuses McDormick and arrests him. Meanwhile a group of sons and daughters flee from their mothers. When McDormick escapes from prison, he meets the coroner Dr. Lee Grouly (Michael Fuer) that believes in him. Dr. Grouly researches the tissue from McDormick's ex-wife and his nurse Felicia Dodd (Carolyn Gratsch) discovers a venereal virus and the antidote. Meanwhile Dixon sends Officer Hitchcock (Morty Kleidermacher) to kill McDormick. What is Dixon hiding? "Flesh Eating Mothers" is a trash so bad that becomes funny. The story and screenplay are ridiculous; the production, direction, performances, camera and lighting are amateurish; the sets and scenarios are poor. The special effects are laughable with lots of ketchup. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Festim do Inferno" ("Feast from Hell")

I don't know what to think or expect from a title like this, but as long as you don't expect any greatness or high level film making then you should be okay and you might even find this strange weird looking movie quite enjoyable as long as you lower your expectations. Even from the opening with a hunter running through the woods and then realising that he's missing his arm, was just hilariously stupid and that really sets the tone of what's to come.Fast forward a few years later and the plot is that a suburban husband is sleeping with half of the bored housewives of the local neighbourhood and unknowingly spreading a sexually transmitted virus to the women, turning them into hungry cannibals who first start to eat their own children and then go on a rampage throughout the quiet town, and then it's up to the remaining teens to try and stop them and the local doctor to find a cure before it's too late.This is just dipped in pure cheese through and through, and the film itself looks bleak and rather ugly. The acting of course is as bad as the direction and this movie is in dire need of funding looking at those effects or lack of. But honestly this is trashy fun and despite none of the cast being able to act, they were still okay and the teens look about late 20's early 30's and one of the girls when she stood next to her mother they looked the same age, which was hilarious and there is a bit of action in this flick that does keep things moving. It's a great idea and does have a pretty good strong start to it, but does lose steam a bit in the middle and the awful dialogue was a hoot, especially when two of the mutated mothers stop and have a conversation. But on the whole it does feel lifeless and lazy.All in all "Flesh Eating Mothers" has somewhat of potential but doesn't have the intelligence to become a cult classic and falls short in almost all areas, but it's an okay bit of cheese just not something that I would return to in the future.

Simply awful film about suburban mothers who become cannibals and start eating their children...and other things.I caught this lousy movie at a theatre back in 1988. The crowd was mostly college kids (the film is unrated but a big sign outside the theatre said, "No one under 17 admitted--this means YOU!") and we were all rearing to go and enjoy a gory, stupid and fun movie. Well it was gory and VERY stupid...but no fun at all. The script was horrible, the acting lousy, the makeup (and I use that term loosely) was pathetic and it just ended up being boring and insulting. Except for some scattered laughs at some of the dialogue ("What's eating you?") the audience just sat there in stunned silence. You might want to see this just because of the title but seriously--the title is the only funny thing about this! A 1 all the way.
