Review of Mom

Mom (1990)
1/10
Only watch it for James....

Warning: Spoilers
During a time when the city of Los Angeles is terrorised by animal attack style murders, a kindly elderly lady provides a nomad with room and board.

It turns out that he is a werewolf and is responsible for the recent killings.

He bites the elderly woman, turning her into a werewolf.

Now her son must try to prevent the both of them from doing any more harm.

There are elements to this film that really hint to the Little Red Riding Hood legend, and it makes such a pigs ear of it, by trying to be clever and reversing it, it's virtually unwatchable.

Briton James is the best thing about this film, and if it were a standalone movie about him being a werewolf drifter, it could have been good.

Except the film makers thought it would be funny to get an old woman, put contacts in her eyes, and have her hiss every now and again.

All the while being chased around by her increasingly annoying son.

After James is disposed of, it really hits the one star territory and becomes a horrible mess.

Not worth your time, not even worth using your eyes to even read the cover or synopsis.

Terrible
