Enjoyable foreign horror flick........2006-05-13

Two kind elderly ladies are having a birthday party with their family invited, unfortunately their black sheep nephew has sent them an evil gift that has literally transform both into ravenous, nutty and blood-crazed demons that begin to literally tear apart some of the family members one by one until some surviving family members must ward them off and find a way to stop this evil.

Strange and mildly bloody Belgian-French-Dutch horror comedy romp that was distributed here in the U.S. by Troma Pictures. It's kind of slow at times but does have some black humor and some gore even though it only has a few of them for the rest have been heavily cut out to avoid an "X" rating here in America, the film is in the tradition of Peter Jackson's pre-Hollywood days but isn't really the greatest of Troma flicks for that honor goes to "The Toxic Avenger" but it's still a enjoyable flick.

The DVD here has good picture and sound quality with some fine extras like audio commentary by director Emmanuel Kervyn, trailer with trailers to other Troma movies, Troma Intelligence Test, tour of the Troma building, outtakes, deleted gore scenes, radioation march, Troma's EdgeTV clips, a look at "Terror Firmer", photo gallery, an interview with one of the original rabid grannies, and more.

Absolute crap.......2005-02-15

Despite a good title, Rabid Grannies disappoints in all levels and the dubbing is so horrible that your better watching this crap with subtitles. The movie is plotless and very pointless with very little gore(The DVD version is R-rated and the special features include deleted scenes that feature the bloody effects on the Unrated version). A bunch of people in a mansion celebrate a kids birthday party and two grandma's get rabies and start killing all. Rabid Grannies shouldn't be in the Troma industries and just burned in toxic waste. If you want a good Troma movie try Toxic Avenger or even that chessy,low-budget Redneck Zombies.

Mean Grannies!.......2004-07-02

Okay, the first half hour is boring..snooze, snooze, snooze. You see a set of ta-ta's, but still boring.

One of the Grannies opens a box, a gift from who?...who knows, never find out. They become rabid once it is opened and they become plastic creatures that foam green goo--awesome, thank you.

A Night of the Living Deadish appeal, the characters lock themselves in rooms throughout the mansion while the Grannies lurk throughout the hallways.

The demented nature of this film made me give this four stars despite the quick ending. The gore is moderate, but the implied effects are well-done. Strings of meat, limbs going down stairs--that kind of stuff.

This is laughable, but at a descent price, worth it.

So Bad It's Good!.......2003-10-23

If you're looking for a movie with a plot you should know you won't ever find it in a gore movie. The gore is funny, disgusting, and just down right sick. I liked that! If it wasn't for all of the extras and trailers filled with porn type materials I would have given this movie a 5 star. No where in the movie databases did I find that this DVD contained so much nudity but it does. The movie itself just has one scene that isn't to risky however the PSA and other trailers on this DVD are what I consider soft porn material. It's still worth buying so pick one up before you can't get your hands on thease grannies any longer.
