Featured review
Corman's classic gets a sexy '70s makeover.
If you're of the opinion that Roger Corman's 1960 cult classic The Little Shop of Horrors would have benefited from sex and full frontal nudity, then this is the film for you: the basic plot is virtually identical to The Little Shop of Horrors, but much of the film's runtime is devoted to softcore rumpy pumpy (occasionally teetering on hardcore), as middle-aged virgin Henry Fudd (Buck Kartalian, who looks a bit like Corman regular Dick Miller) takes time out from tending to his talking, female, carnivorous plant in order to spy on young couples getting jiggy.
To keep his hungry plant happy, Henry supplies it with food, starting with fertiliser and flies, then frogs, followed by dogs, and eventually humans, abducting young lovers at gunpoint.
Produced by exploitation legend Harry H. Novak, and clearly filmed on a budget that even Corman might have struggled with, Please Don't Eat My Mother is badly written, poorly acted nonsense with an embarrassingly bad flesh-eating plant. The frequent saucy scenes feature some attractive young women in the altogether, including prolific '70s pornstar Rene Bond, but they are shot in an unimaginative and repetitive manner which soon becomes tiresome.
3/10. Just about worth a watch if really trashy movies are your thing.
