mom begin at night in the middle of nowhere and at what look like a wooden building in the desert . a pick up truck pull up and an angry father chuck his slutty daughter virginia monroe ( claudia christian ) out and leave her there and but she isn not alone a the shadowy figure of nestor duvalier ( brion james ) watch her from a short distance . virginia try to make conversation but a she grind a cigarette out under her leopard print and thigh high and high heel boot nestor grab her by her throat and drag her off into the darkness . nestor then rip her top open and turn into a monster and start to eat her innards . virginia be the late victim of a serial killer that have lieutenant carlo hendrix ( art evans ) and the lapd baffle and or at least that the message a local tv news reporter name clay dwyer ( mark thomas miller ) be tell his viewer . clay be happily live with his pregnant girlfriend alice ( mary beth mcdonough ) and therefore his mother emily ( jeanne bates ) have a spare room go which she decide to rent out to the blind dark sunglass wear nestor . unfortunately for emily she accidentally knock nestor sunglass off which reveal he have strange colour eye and nestor then turn into a monster again and bite emily turn her into a flesh eating monster just like himself . nestor take emily out to train her and they find a suitable homeless bum ( rory vansaint ) and murder him and eat his gut but emily son clay have witness the whole thing and he must choose between do what be right and his love for his mother who now just happen to be a grotesque bloodsucking and flesh eating monster . edit and write and direct by patrick rand i think mom be a pretty awful film . look at some of the other comment on the imdb and the genre list it have be give it appear many seem to think that mom be a comedy horror . well i can tell you now that i do not see any comedic element in mom at all because there aren not any and unless they be very subtle . the only thing that i can assume be that people see comedy in the actual situation which mom present and that be an old lady turn into a flesh eating monster and the predictable problem and emotional angst that it cause to her son who find out . there be no joke ( apart from name a prostitute beverly hill ( stella stevens ) ) and slapstick humour or anything even remotely funny in the film itself and as far a i could see it be play totally straight throughout it 90 minute run time . so with there be no comedy in mom that must mean there lot of horror right . wrong and mom suck and be painfully slow to watch especially after the first thirty odd minute which consist of nestor turn into a monster a couple of time and bite emily and show her how to hunt for food and clay find out . until this point mom be move at a fairly decent pace and have some ok special make up effect and have me interested and unfortunately mom run for another hour which be basically the emotional crap suffer by emily son and the eventual breakdown of his marriage and him be tear between love for his mother and the fact that she a flesh eating monster . this part of the film be incredibly slow and boring and as dull a dishwater even have the nerve to resort to a clichéd role reversal scenario where clay tell his mom to go to her room and stay there lock the door behind her and tell her off and put bar over her window so she can not escape her room . mom script totally ignore the monster origin and ask u to just accept that this thing exist without give a single reason why we should and no matter how silly an explanation might have be i think some background to the monster would have help . technically mom be bland and cheap look and although i can not say it badly make it very average stuff all the way with nothing that particularly impress or anything with which i could make fun of to pass the time . the special make up effect on the monster be ok but their use in very quick flash and blink and you will miss them . don not be fool by any fancy video box artwork like i be and the monster be only in it three time maximum and all of those be within the pacey first thirty minute . there isn not much gore either and a severed arm and some brief intestine eating and a burnt body and a drill in someone arm be all we get . the acting be ok but please mr. brion jam what be that dodgy accent all about . at least james have the good sense to know he be in crap and sensibly opt to be kill off early on in the proceeding and everyone else be nobody expect the black lieutenant who be also a black police officer in fright night ( 1985 ) but you may recognise him from die hard 2 ( 1990 ) and he make mom and die hard 2 in the same year . talk about opposite end of the spectrum . overall there be nothing by which i can really recommend mom a a horror film and it certainly isn not a comedy as far a i be concern . very poor and very disappointing and yet again i have be con by fancy video box artwork with lot of still of cool look monster . definitely one to avoid .
