A venereal disease turns an entire town of two-timing mothers into cannibals!

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.

My brother was the boy in the frying pan on the cover of the movie. We Lived in Jersey City at the time and personally knew the artist who illustrated the picture. He was about 7 or 8 years old at the time. He was given a signed copy of the poster but unfortunately a boy of his age has a tendency to lose things. We still to this day have never seen the movie.Really want to see it so I figure we will get it from direct DVD considering Amazon claims it doesn't come out on DVD until May.I had looked it up awhile back and the VHS versions were going for about sixty dollars for used copies. Talk about overpriced. Is this movie really as bad as many people have posted?

I LOVE this movie! It's one of the absolute WORST productions of a film I've ever seen. The acting, the directing, the special effects, even the lighting absolutely STINK! The scene with the two kids getting high and laughing their butts off talking about her mother eating her baby brother just had me ROLLING on the floor it was so poorly done. The very idea of a sexually transmitted zombie virus is so stupid I can't for a second believe anyone meant this movie to be taken seriously. A must-see if, like me, you're a fan of the hilariously god-awful!

Oddly enough, this is a Christian splatter film that comments religiously against adultery. I'm not Christian, but that's not what soured me on this crap. This is just one of the crappiest movies out there, and I don't judge these movies over continuity errors involving glasses of milk either. It's a horror-comedy that could only be funny if you look for everything they did wrong. The gore FX have their no-budget moments, but any kind of FX never make a movie a good movie, no matter how big a plus they can be. This was just a dull, excruciating mess. There's really nothing else I can say about this junk, and I would recommend "Back from Hell" instead, which is a great no-budget, Christian splatter film.
