Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The first must-see film of the year.

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")

Blackly amusing horror satire hits an all-time hilariously harsh and unmerciful zenith with this savagely funny, acidic and over-the-top no-holds-barred wholesale darkly comedic assault on two sacred all-American institutions: the sanctity of motherhood and the alleged tranquility of drably affluent middle-class suburbanite existence. A prolific married philander infects several frowzy bored-stiff homebody housefraus with a strange virus which turns the formerly sweet and harmless gals into lethal fiends with an insatiable craving for human flesh. Pretty soon the monstrous cannibalistic matrons are embarking on an all-out murderous spree: Among the grisly splatter highlights are a bang-up bloodthirsty pre-credits sequence depicting a hapless guy blowing away his wife with a shotgun after she rips his arm off, a mother-daughter coalition meeting that degenerates into a ghastly orgy of out of control violence, a severed hand in a refrigerator, a fat corrupt cop being graphically dismembered and ravenously devoured, another police officer filling his bestial better half full of lead when he catches her snacking on her own son, a hateful abusive drunk receiving a suitably brutal retribution from his formerly passive, now quite deadly and aggressive spouse, a cat being torn in half after the maniacal mommies find the cute little kitty hiding in a dumpster, and, most shocking of all, a baby boy getting noshed on. Besides the righteously copious and revolting gore, this film further delights viewers by boldly bucking standard genre conventions. For example, the police prove to be useless incompetents, so it's up to a motley bunch of teenagers which include a surly loner juvenile delinquent hoodlum to save the day. Sure, this movie has its fair share of flaws (flat photography, wildly uneven acting, a tinny, gratingly redundant score), but the ample explicit bloodshed, a few choice campy lines ("What are we supposed to do, stay here and have our a**es chewed out by our mothers?"), and especially the joyfully vicious take-no-prisoners nihilistic humor secure this honey's status as one supremely twisted treat just the same.

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!
