Excellent, a Must See

Crappy film

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Surprisingly entertaining tongue-in-cheek little horror flick of the mid-90's that is undeservedly obscure and unloved. The film has a relatively original premise – with a few identifiable moments of comedy – about a wealthy grandmother who's offered the chance to gain immortality by a mysterious hermit who shows up at her ; under the condition that she makes peace with her family on Thanksgiving Day. That's easier said than done, however, as her family is a collection of greedy vultures and sleaze scumbags that cannot wait for granny to die so that they can finally sell the parental house and inherit the family fortune. Only the geeky but obviously stunningly beautiful granddaughter Kelly genuinely cares for Granny with all her heart. Granny ignores the condition, drinks the potion and dies at the spot. The family is very happy, of course, especially since they clumsily altered the testament themselves, but granny soon after returns as a vengeful and bloodthirsty demon. The grotesque death sequences benefit from goody gruesome make-up effects (one woman is eaten by her fur coat, another one has his penis bitten off, etc…) and there are quite a lot of tasteless and blackly comical gags on taboo topics like incest. The final act of the film becomes quite ridiculous; especially when all the massacred family members return as demons as well to complete their Thanksgiving diner. The climax battle also definitely outstays its welcome, but hey, certain little flaws are easy to forgive. Last but not least, there's some fantastically gratuitous and more than welcome nudity, provided by the extremely hot female starlets Shannon Whirry (a former soft core actress) and the voluptuous Heather Parkhurst (a former bikini advertisement model).

Granny (Stella Stevens) has had it with her family. They are greedy, ruthless people who probably want her dead. And how right she is, as they try to attempt to poision her on Thanksgiving day and change her will so they inherit everything. The only good that comes out of the family is her son's illegmate daughter (Shannon Wherry) who has token care of granny most of her life and is supposed to be sole heir to Granny's estate. Well one day, Granny recieves a potion that will give her eternal life, if she and the potion stay out of the sun though. Well guess what, it gets exposed to the sun and granny dies. However she comes back to life as a homicidal, ax swinging demon. Instead of trying to be your standard, routine slice and dice horror film this feature just goes all out sparing nothing in the process. Stella Stevens is in great form and has some of the funniest one liners in recent memory and Shannon has never been more appealing. The death scenes are possibly some of the most creative and violent in horror film history and the ending is a knockout, especially the dinner table scene with the whole family gathered including dad. Much better then you would expect.Rated R; Extreme Graphic Violence, Nudity, Profanity, and Sexual Situations.

This is the 2nd worst movie made.I have never seen a movie with such a stupid plot or bad as actors.This movie was just simply dumb.don't buy this movie ever or rent it.If you do you will never watch this movie again.And it had the worst graphics of all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not watch this movie.

although I will have to admit that "The Granny" was one of the worst films that I have ever seen, I always like to find something positive to say about most things. Unfortunately, there's not much I can say about this movie that would be considered positive. It was cheesy, to say the least. The dialogue was non-existent (I actually think the movie would have been better as a silent flick). The plot was so thin, it was like watching a really bad mentos commercial on acid. Of course, there is one positive thing I can say about the film. Although most of the cast of the film should give up acting (if they can even call what they did in that film acting), there were two actors that made the film bearable. Not surprisingly, it was the two youngest actors of the film. Samantha Hendricks played her part well, since all she had to do was be herself; a little girl in a freaky situation. Ryan Bollman, while a little overly dramatic in his role, shows true acting talent. These two actors would do best to hold out for more decent parts, and not waste their talent on such low-grade "film making". "The Granny" belongs in the waste basket, but save these two actors. I hate seeing talent go to waste.
