Audience Member Oddball horror/comedy about a sweet grey haired mother who is bitten by a werewolf or some sort of creature of the night (played by the always great Brion James) and transforms her into a bloodthirsty creature of the night, much to the consternation of her yuppie adult son who only wants to help her and stop her from killing. The film really grabbed me with the opening of Brion James as a blind man attacking a prostitute played by Claudia Christian. James then goes on to ingratiate himself to the titular mother who invites him into her home, only for him to attack her and turn her into a werewolf. The dark humor around a sweet old lady with blood dripping down her matronly house dresses is pretty funny and does go a long way, but the rest of the film isn't all that clever or interesting. Art Evans and Stella Stevens also appear in the film, but horror/comedies rarely seem to work and outside of seeing a kindly old lady viciously killing, there ins't a lot to recommend here. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was pretty funny. I'm surprised its not considered a cult classic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member a weird movie, imaginative and kinda creepy, its better than some horror movies, it isn't as over the top as some movies of this kind go.. which is a good thing. but that doesn't necessarily mean its a movie worth watching.. only give it a shot if you like horror movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A fun flick. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member old lady flesh eater. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A smart and well-paced horror film that takes a simple concept and expands beautifully on it. It is a "Serial Mom" esq film with less comedy, more darkness, and with a twist of bloodlust. Excellent. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
