That's it for the setup -- what remains is a series of outrageously gory scenes in which the maniacal mommies begin hacking up, cooking, and eating everyone in sight, including local police, stray cats, their loutish husbands, and even their own children. It's up to a few surviving kids to unite against the neighborhood menace and join forces with a doctor to come up with a cure for their mothers' lethal affliction. Fans of "splatstick" gore-fests in the vein of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Bad Taste should find this one entertaining, poor acting and numerous technical flaws notwithstanding. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Johnny Butane, Dread Central
Flesh Eating Mothers comes across as one of those films where the story, what there is of it, was built around the title more than anything else.

not intended to be taken seriously in any vein, but unfortunately it's not apparent that anyone involved with the production is actually in on the joke
