This film has been out of print for sometime and who knows, if ever, it will appear on DVD. This video has caused fierce bidding wars on eBay.

Shannon Whirry is the goody-two-shoes who cares for her ailing (and insane) grandmother. The rest of the family hates Granny and teases Shannon for giving her so much care. Unfortunatly Shannon gets nothing in the will and the family make out like bandits.

However Granny received a visit form a salesman promising eternal life. So.....Granny becomes Monster Granny and runs amok in the mansion, slaughtering her family.

To say this film is gross and in bad taste is an understatement. Imagine if you will a lovely brunnette niece (a Swedish Bikini Team Model to boot) is giving oral pleasure to her freshly decapitated uncle. Yes folks that and more.

Shannon steals the show as she is the hottest B-actress since Shannon Tweed.

Damn, what a masterpiece. As soon as the title runs across the screen and the cheesy clip-art comes on the screen with bad music...you know it's got to be good! This is the "best" b-movie ever. The Granny (before becoming a demon) looks like her wrinkles were made out of layered makeup. She offers incredible, sexual, hilarious one-liner jokes that'll have you on the floor laughing!!

Her family comes to visit, and wow...are they bad actors! It does contain a lot of breast nudity, but the whole idea of the movie is just brilliant. The effects really suck, the people tell awful but hilarious jokes, the costumes are bad...but it will keep you on the edge of your seat, begging for more!! The beginning is a little scary, but the rest is just a lot of stupid-looking gore. Check it out or miss out!!

Good gravy, this is one of the best "so bad, it's good" movies EVER! The acting is sub-par, the violence gory, the jokes and dialogue are AWFUL, and the nudity is gratuituous....everything a bad horror movie needs. Stella Stevens is a ... HOOT as Granny! Hearing her slam on her greedy family (ESPECIALLY the put-down she shoots her oldest son) just rocks. Shannon Whirry and Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst supply the T & A QUITE nicely. Kudos also to the actress playing Heather's ...sexy mom of whom you get an all-too-brief flash in a fur coat room. The plot? Yeah, it rips off about a dozen other horror films, but WHO CARES? I first saw this on cable at about 4:00 in the morning and HAD to own it. If you can check your brains and good taste at the door for some TRULY guilty entertainment, this is your movie. Fans of "artsy" movies need not order this. I just wish they'd make a special edition DVD of this with MORE sex, gore, and bad jokes. ENJOY!

Alright, I admit it... I was intrigued by the box, another cheesy horror movie that would have bad gore and failed acting with a somewhat corny but interesting plot. I was wrong.

The Granny makes little to no sense at best, has poor editing, the WORST acting and an almost useless begining and ending, however its an hour and a half of the greatest laughs you will EVER have!

Almost every woman in this movie gets naked, and then sometimes their clothes just re-appear! The on and on ranting about how ugly the granddaughter is, only at the end to have her looking like a playboy centerfold just goes to show, how this movie probably wasn't SUPPOSED to make any sense.

I guarantee you will enjoy this movie, because its impossible not to. Your expecting some cheesy B-rate film, but your getting something much much more, its bad... but its good! I LIKE IT!

I thought the Simpsons and the Griphens on Family Guy were a disfuctional family. Horror has a new name GRANNY. The plot is simple but efficient. The actors are good (two thumbs up for "Michelle" and the killer) and the dialogs are even quite clever. from the beginning to the end, the action will leave you breathless, you just can't escape it... There is blood, awful murders, funny moments, and a sense of perversity that goes far beyond any rule. This granny had some messenger guy come buy and deliver some stuff that is suppost to give her eternal life. Her own children wanted her dead by poisned her food, when she dies they can take her money cause she's rich.

OMG! What a classic campy movie! It took me awhile to find this movie, that is untill I found the gift of Amazon! I truelly love this movie and am so happy to have got a copy to add to my movie collection. The feel for this movie is dark and campy, it's fun to watch as this movie starts to unfold into gory horror comedy fun! The Granny has gone crazy! Stella does a great role as she steels every scene she's in, having fun with her on-liners and makeup. The rest of the cast does an okay job given that they really dont have much to work with. The script is kindda weak with a little plot holes but besides that, this is truely a dark comedy horror. Remeber to not take this film too serious cause the point is to just have fun! If you ever come across this, grab a copy, sitt back, and get ready to laugh and scream you decapitated head off! The granny has come home-and this time it's a killer reunion!

Well, this movie is definitely a first rate B-film as it has all the necessary components: bad acting, horrible make-up/special effects, no plot whatsoever, cheaply attractive women, and tons and tons of GORE! Yes, that is what makes the Granny so entertaining, truthfully. After drinking a magic potion without performing the required "Cleansing Ritual" and leaving it in direct sunlight, the greedy old grandmother is transformed into a cannibalistic zombie hungry for the flesh and blood of her own family. Unfortunately, it's not scary in any way, shape, or form, but it's definitely filled with laugh after laugh when you realize what a joke this film is. It also features Shannon Whirry (who I honestly don't believe is that attractive) and Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst (who is pretty, but is such a poor actress that her perfomance might rival that of Anna Nicole Smith's in the Naked Gun 33 1/3). Absolutely worth owning for the comedic/gore value.

If you watch this movie in hopes of coming across a truly misunderstood horror gem...then you will be terribly disappointed. The acting is weak, the plot is riddled with holes and was obviously thrown together in five minutes, the make-up and effects (if you can call them that) are just plain silly. But still, this movie is worth watching. Why? Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst and Stella Stevens, of course! Gorgeous and seductive, Parkhurst is lovely to look at, and with her cheesy one-liners and badly applied make-up, Stella Stevens is hilarious! Highlights include the wrestling addicted nephew and the "Melting scene" of Wolfgang the Cat. Seriously.

When I say a film is a waste of time and money, it must be true. I LOVE obscure horror titles, and zombie movies are my favorites. But this one is a waste, as I should've been able to tell from the title. Don't watch this one at all. Forget what it's about. Just steer clear of this one.

The term "haggler", contrary to what most people think when they hear it ("one who haggles"), has become a great inside joke word to me and my friends. A haggler, to us, is an old frump with an ugly voice, who may or may not make ugly faces and gestures. It developed from characters like the Granny, and old hags that can only be imitated with raspy exaggeration and by plugging your nose. But about the movie.. all I can say is that by all conventional standards, it is truly terrible. Most reviewers have already said that the plot sucks, it has bad acting and bad make-up, etc. The Granny was entertaining, but far from being a good movie. The *ONLY* reason I would recommend this movie to anyone is that it will make you laugh. If you enjoy ridiculous horror movies like me, you won't be disappointed, but don't even think about buying it otherwise.
