January 15, 2014After the death of his mother, Ed (Steve Buscemi) meets a typical, shady salesman (John Glover) who promises Ed he can bring his mother back to life for a thousand bucks. Ed agrees and the salesman actually delivers (after raising the price). Ed's mother lives for about a day before she croaks again and then the salesman comes back to sell more 'life' for a hefty pricetag. The 'life' turns out to be a canister of bugs which Ed is supposed to feed to his mother, two per night. The mom ends up overdosing on life, however, and soon needs more to sustain her hunger. She starts eating dogs and eventually people until she is so far out of control that Ed pays the salesman the rest of his inheritance to kill his mom. It was actually a really fun movie that never got the recognition it deserved.
