Best movie of this year hands down!
Fresh and Exciting
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
What a shame that the distributors billed this fascinating Grindhouse classic as a splatter film; "I Dismember Mama" is not the original title of this obscure gem, and it is a misleading title as well, as nobody gets 'dismembered.' This is the story of a paranoid schizophrenic, who has been committed to a private asylum. Albert is convinced that all women are whores, and that the world must be cleansed of the evil that they bring. After sexually attacking a nurse and cutting the throat of an orderly, Albert escapes and returns to his childhood home, in search of his mother, who is his main obsession. He doesn't find her. He does find the 12 year old daughter of his mother's friend, and becomes convinced that little Annie should become his bride, as she is the only truly "pure" female left in the world.This movie is something that could have only been made in the glorious 1970's, cinema's most notorious decade for rule breaking and boundary pushing themes and images. "I Dismember Mama" aka "Poor Albert and Little Annie" is a must for fans of the "grindhouse" films of the 70's. It has it all; extreme fashions and hairstyles, bizarre music, and a truly twisted story. The seedy, low budget production is rich with atmosphere, and a feeling of dread permeates the film from beginning to end. The subject matter is sure to make certain viewers a bit uncomfortable, but then so do many of the best movies. Sadly it is very difficult to find a watchable copy of this movie, but it is worth tracking down. I'm kind of surprised that it doesn't have more of a cult following. Recommended; along the lines of "The Baby" and "Toys Are Not for Children," other films about bizarre sexual deviations.
Yes the title kicks ass but the film is just okay.I don't care what anyone says,I liked it because it was different.It had an awesome sample.."Breeding is the manifestation of worms" I actually rented it in 1999 and just bought it last week off Amazon.com for like $7.It's really rare.The part I didn't like was that he didn't kill his rich mother.(I'd like to dismember my mama myself).This is one of the films that inspired me to be a screenwriter because it's a low-budget film.I think I can do better though..We'll see.I talk about this movie at work and people are like "what?! I Dismember Mama? I like the guys hairstyle.He looked pretty scary.I also liked the part at the beginning when he was in the mental institution.I can relate to that.I'm glad I have this in my collection, right next to Friday the 13th.The naked girl at the end looked pretty nice too.This is worth checking out.
This reasonably tense, aberrant and absorbing low-grade early 70's psycho picture is nowhere near as vile or awful as its unjustly lousy reputation would suggest. Yeah, it's the unsparingly grim and twisted story of a depraved Oedipal wreck Norman Bates-style misogynistic pedophile sicko who after escaping from an experimental mental home racks up a tiny body count (three folks in total) and befriends a sweet, unsuspecting 11-year-old girl (the adorable Geri Reischl) who he considers to be the sole "pure" female he's ever made the acquaintance of, but thankfully both director Paul Leder and screenwriter William Norton (who also co-wrote "Big Bad Mama" and "Day of the Animals") never let the perverse premise degenerate into total gag-inducing filthy sleaze. Instead, they show a surprising amount of taste and restraint, creating a genuinely icky and unsettling atmosphere by chiefly focusing on star lunatic Albert's seething psychosis and severe hang-ups concerning his domineering rich b**ch mommy. Zooey Hall as the outwardly calm and composed, yet internally volatile and dangerous Albert gives a believably creepy and admirably subdued performance; Hall laudably eschews the pop-eyed raving histrionics most actors tend to do in such colorfully deranged roles in favor of a more unnervingly low-key approach which in turn makes Albert's sporadic psychotic outbursts that much more convincing and upsetting. Future "Marty Hartman, Mary Hartman" TV show star Greg Mullavey lends solid support as the hard-nosed detective determined to arrest Albert before things get too out of hand. Moreover, the grimy no-frills two-cent production values further lend a certain grungy verisimilitude to the overall bleakly credible proceedings, thus making this flesh-crawling item one of the most disturbingly plausible of 70's grind-house psycho features.
After he escapes from a mental hospital,deranged Zooey Hall sets out to kill his mother(who sent him there),but along the way attacks and kills any "loose women" that cross his path.Eventually,he falls for a young girl,the daughter of his mother's housekeeper."I Dismember Mama" is an extremely boring and ugly thriller.I actually suffered watching this one and that's saying something.Exploitation and horror fans will be disappointed,because there is absolutely no gore.There is a little bit of sleaze and perversion(for example photos of naked children in the warehouse filled with mannequins),and the denouement is almost intense,unfortunately "I Dismember Mama" is too dull to be enjoyable.Watching paint dry is far more interesting than suffering through this turd.5 out of 10 and that's being kind.
