Rabid Grannies Review

Review of Rabid Grannies (1988) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

Scarecrow Video Psycho Challenge #31. The Gold Watch

The film doesn't really get going until that weird old witch shows up at the gate, but until that point this movie succeeds at disorienting you with its dopey ADR mixed with what seems like 30 characters introduced within the first 20-25 minutes. Once the grannies go rabid, shit really hits the fan with the demon/gore effects (the grannies look suspiciously like demons from DEMON WIND but that's a plus for me).

What works for RABID GRANNIES is that the demons are truly mean-spirited and mischievous. Their murderous misdeeds make it near impossible to predict how they'll kill their family members next. One minute they dismember a french weapons manufacturer, hoist him in the air with a halberd by the groin and fling him from it from the upper floor down a flight of stairs, and the next the demon grannies give a priest an M4A1 and talk him into killing himself because it's the only way he can go to hell.

This is my kind of movie!

PSA: This is for the uncut version with the gore edited back in, really the best way to watch this.
