What can you expect from a film titled "Rabid Grannies"? You can expect a lot of horror and mayhem, aswell as nudity and an insanely twisted bizzare plot. When I watched this film, I pretty much new what I was going to see, and my expectations matched the results. So if you like stupid and utterly rediculous horror films than this is your film. For what this film stands for, I gave it a semi good review.

Troma doesn't really know their target audience. Seems to me they take perfectly sleazy movies and cut out most of the sleaze. I refuse to believe the director of Rabid Grannies would have filmed copious amounts of cheesy gore simply to have every scrap of it edited out. Troma's claim that this is the "director's cut," is a load of fiber. It's almost as if they cut out all the gore so they could fill up their "EXTRAS" area. I suggest avoiding it.

If you're looking for a movie with a plot you should know you won't ever find it in a gore movie. The gore is funny, disgusting, and just down right sick. I liked that! If it wasn't for all of the extras and trailers filled with porn type materials I would have given this movie a 5 star. No where in the movie databases did I find that this DVD contained so much nudity but it does. The movie itself just has one scene that isn't to risky however the PSA and other trailers on this DVD are what I consider soft porn material. It's still worth buying so pick one up before you can't get your hands on thease grannies any longer.

rabid grannies is decent....for all tromaniacs its a maybe...i have been amazed by troma movies in the past but this movie...i rate it "eh" its decent but the fun thing about troma is it mixes sex, gore, and comedy well.....this movie has a lot of pointless talking and no sex at all, but it still has gore.......and damn fine gore....but if your looking for movies like that i sugest "class of nuke em high" or "army of darkness" first, those movies are the same style and are a lot better......

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.

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.

Okay, the first half hour is boring..snooze, snooze, snooze. You see a set of ta-ta's, but still boring.

One of the Grannies opens a box, a gift from who?...who knows, never find out. They become rabid once it is opened and they become plastic creatures that foam green goo--awesome, thank you.

A Night of the Living Deadish appeal, the characters lock themselves in rooms throughout the mansion while the Grannies lurk throughout the hallways.

The demented nature of this film made me give this four stars despite the quick ending. The gore is moderate, but the implied effects are well-done. Strings of meat, limbs going down stairs--that kind of stuff.

This is laughable, but at a descent price, worth it.

Not as silly as the title suggests, but still silly. I loved this tender (yeah right) story of two aging sisters who receive a special gift on their birthday from their devil worshiping nephew, and all heck breaks loose. Lots of blood and gore. Badly dubbed movie from Belgium. More funny than scary. Interesting musical score. I could watch it again and again.

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.

Can someone please educate Troma! Troma once again states that their title is unrated, but it's the cut R-rated version. The extra gore scenes are in the special features. That's fine, but Troma should of state that instead of lying to us. Then we get Lloyd Kaufman giving us the info on the movie, like thats really needed! This movie is not all bad, but c'mon it's dvd how hard is it to give us the uncut print to begin with. Most companies give us the cut print first then give the uncut print later after stealing our money. But the difference is most companies are honest, and state it's rated R, but Troma rather lie to their fans. I say it's time to wise up, and tell these companies to shove-it times are hard, save your money!
