Please Don't Eat My Mother!

About This Movie

So, 'Please Don't Eat My Mother!' is this bizarre blend of comedy and horror that really owns its weirdness. The premise of a middle-aged guy with a carnivorous plant that’s got a sultry voice is so absurd, it actually works in its favor. The pacing is all over the place, but that adds to the charm of its unpredictability. Practical effects and creature designs are delightfully low-budget, which gives it that quirky, handcrafted feel that a lot of modern films lack. The performances are a mix of over-the-top and deadpan, which just makes it more entertaining. Not a mainstream hit, but for those who appreciate the oddities of 70s cinema, it’s a curious watch.

This film has seen a few releases over the years, but it remains somewhat elusive in collector circles. Limited editions and obscure VHS copies are the most sought after, with the rarity increasing interest among genre enthusiasts. As a testament to its underground appeal, expect a mix of love and disdain from collectors, but those who appreciate the quirky side of 70s horror-comedy tend to keep it on their radar.
