Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A Major Disappointment

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I'm 54 and just saw this movie on TV. Never heard of it before. The first scenes looked very low budget so I expected to see one laughable scene after the next. However, the movie and acting started to ramp up after the first zombie gets burned to hell. Thomas, playing the son, portrays a believable son distraught over his mother's sudden transformation into a flesh eating zombie. What we have then is a little old sweet lady with an insatiable craving for human flesh. The attack scenes are incredibly funny. Some of the dialogue is funny, but the last scene of the mother dying is sad. Overall, this was a low budget comedy/horror movie with a twist(old lady's the villain), featuring some good acting and a lot of angst from a son who is torn between the love for his mom and horror of what she does.

Several memorable double meanings in "Mom" are teetering on the edge of "black comedy", but there is no further development of the comedy angle. Therefore, I must conclude that this was never intended to be a dark comedy. The horror elements are crude, however the story is memorable for such a low budget film. Brion James has limited screen time, but sets things in motion with a bite to Mom's shoulder. Along the lines of Steve Buscemi in "Ed and His Dead Mother", Mark Thomas Miller is torn between his love for his Mom, and the realization that she is addicted to human flesh. Special mention must be made of Stella Stevens performance as a bar trollop, as it is excellent. = MERK

Mom has to be one of the all time uncomfortable movies to watch. It features an elderly lady you would love to have as your Nanny who becomes the nastiest mother f***ing monster you would ever want to meet on a dark night!This supper Nanny eats the inners of a young lady at the opening of the movie and it just gets sicker as it goes on. A cross between the howling and brain dead seem to come to mind when describing Mom!A must for horror fans who have the stomach for it (if you have watched re-animator or brain dead, this will float your boat)and are willing to switch the brain off for an hour or so...Let the gore pour!...8/10

Elderly woman provides room and board for a blind musican, but it turns out he is a ghoulish monster who is responsible for a wave of recent murders in the city. He bites dear old mom and she turns into a monster with sudden urges to kill people. As people in the family start to turn up dead, her son must put an end to the carnage. Horror / Comedy where neither the horror works nor the comedy. The humor is flat and the scares are almost none. Rated R; Violence and Profanity.
