All I have to say I ouch. I remember watching this the first time about 8 years ago while on my big VHS hunting days and thinking it wasn’t that bad of a movie. Halarious concept, some cool gore and the cheese factor being way up. Now that Elite has brought this budget fest back it was time to see why I liked it. I liked this?
A small community. A little suburbia. Quiet. Quaint. Until the local sleeze bag husband goes for his daily jogs and gets his kicks while taking turns on the suspecting housewives. Which in a social take I guess, spreads his little known whore man disease on the ladies and infects them. It is later found out that it doesn’t effect the males, nice venereal disease for ya eh! One by one, the woman become increasingly hungry, to a point where they begin to devour their own family. Now the teenagers of the flesh eating moms band together to combat this plague and get their moms back. Sound good?
Now the real deal with the film. There is not one interesting character in this flick. Maybe one of the Moms or 2 since they drop a couple cool sarcastic lines while on the search for more hungry induced mayhem like “I think I left the iron on”, things like that. But then fall flat for the simple fact that the all are the shittiest actors to ever work in such an art form. There is not one convincing part in the whole flick. The kids don’t act scared enough, or surprised, or excited, or anything. While they see their moms devouring a family member they scream for a second then hook up with the group and talk like nothing even happened. This ruins the whole deal, even if the cheese factor is way up. Still doesn’t hold any ground. The gore though is what holds this little dirt bag together. The flesh ripping and chomping. Very well done by Carl Sorenson who worked beside Kevin Yahger Studios with Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Tremors, I Was A Teenage Zombie, and Return To Salems Lot. The final sequence is the best part of the whole movie. Just when you think the whole ordeal is done with. The original sleeze that spread the disease, his wife gives him a hug, then rips his face off in a very descent animatronic blood splat. Looks fantastic which made me rewatch that part about 5 times over, then the movie ends.
This flick includes the trailer and a new widesreen transfer. I don’t think this even requires a viewing from anyone. Sorry.
