What a disapointment
Added 6/23/2008
Well I just want do say first of all do not buy the dvd version of this film it is cut to shreds (I canot believe troma would do this)but it shows the cut gore sceens in the extras option but still there is music playing during the sceens I would have been a little happier if the actual sound from the movie was playing during the cut sceens but it's not they really need to put this out in a full directors cut with the original gore then this movie would get a 4 or 5 star.

Dead Alive?
Added 1/9/2008
This film looks alot like the movie Dead Alive. The way it was shot and the location looked the same. I dont think the movie was as gory as promised but did have some good gore. The monsters looked really corny and I thought it was very slow at times. As always, Troma always puts the best extras on there dvds. Worth watching at least once.

Not so perfect until you play the special features
Added 11/16/2007
Ok, well the first 30 minutes were funny just because all the characters introduced are stupid/funny in their own ways. The middle part of the movie after the grandmas transform got a little boring for me actually it seemed like there were some holes in the plot, you aren't really sure what happens when people start dying, and people don't die frequently enough or there is not enough gore-humor, or swearing/odd moments what have you, to keep you entertained, but it's ok. I'd say enough "troma" stuff happens to keep it going, it ends alright as well but nothing spectacular, with a pretty predictable ending. Now, what made this movie so worth the whole 5 dollars I spent on it, were the special features. Specifically, the gore scenes that were cut from the movie (which I have no idea why). Basically they play all the death scenes how they were originally shot, and pretty much all of them were extended and a "buttload" more gory, and should have just downright stayed in the movie, the song played along with them only made it funnier. After watching the movie by itself I could bear to watch it again with friends for some laughs, but the excluded scenes were where I found what I expected to be in the movie from the beginning, and are what will keep me playing it from time to time.

Enjoyable foreign horror flick.
Added 5/13/2006
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.
