Something strange is happening to the mothers in a small town in upstate New York... Small and subtle changes appear at first, but soon the women are transformed into deranged, demented, and cannibalistic FLESH-EATING MOTHERS. With no one safe from ending up as a key ingredient in the next tupperware party luncheon, it's up to the town's young people to uncover the shocking truth behind the carnage and put an end to it once and for all, especially as dinner time approaches.

A decidedly absurd and tongue-in-cheek mix of zombie film and Cronenberg-esque body horror, James Martin's direct-to-video 80s cult classic, FLESH-EATING MOTHERS offers a non-stop barrage of over-the-top splatter, courtesy of special effects wizard Carl Sorensen (Child's Play, Tremors), and pitch black humor. Co-produced by Peter Ilich (Splatter University) and photographed by future VFX guru, Harry Eisenstein, Vinegar Syndrome presents FLESH-EATING MOTHERS in its North American Blu-ray debut, freshly restored in 2K and featuring a new batch of exclusive extra features.

Reviews

Great pick up!

"My favorite movies involve some level of cannibalism so this was a lock. This is a fun little comedy that I was quick to grab. Two chewed thumbs up."

80s Splatterfest!

Dumb, but fun! Definitely low

"Dumb, but fun! Definitely low budget and rough around the edges, but worth checking out."

— Dale V. (3/5)

Lots of rough meat in this one

"I picked this up on one of the cheap sales and I love the heart of this one but overall it was a chore to get through. The make up effects were pretty good but the story was awful and a mess kind of. Lack of laughs and interesting story made this one a hard watch. For the completist or ones who love super low budget stuff."

— Robert B. (2/5)

Cine Trash

"Classic low budget horror fun!"

— Luiz J. (5/5)

Flesh Eating Mothers

"Found this gem in the wild at my local VinSyn retail store. A+ entertainment in my book. Feeling so lucky to have snatched this up."

— Brandon B. (5/5)

Cheesy 80’s ZomCom

"A low budget zombie comedy flick that ticked the boxes for me! As a fan of the zombie genre I could resist getting my hands on this from VS. All the tropes of a budget film are here with the questionable acting and cheesy script (with the occasional good delivery), cheap but fun visual effects with plenty of blood, and an all around good time. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to just enjoy a film that clearly isn’t looking to win awards, and this one did it for me. The 2K picture quality was great and comes with some extra features of commentary and interviews to delve into the history of the film. Plus some great artwork on both sides of the sleeve. Not a disappointing buy!"

— Nathan H. (5/5)

Enjoyable B movie

"Might not be classic but definitely worth a watch. Pleased to add it to my collection."

— Marc-Andre T. (3/5)
