Probably one of the most if not the most original and extraordinary film that I watched.
The movie is about a woman with a specific split personality, at first she is a stereotypical cheerful housewife, but then she appears cynical, cruel, vindictive and this is not the whole range of qualities of her second personality and at the same time she manages to be a wife and mother. She is not even suspected of brutal murders until one moment.
The humor in the film is quite hard and sometimes immoral, but this film does not spoil it in any way, on the contrary, it makes it more unique because not every film can be so cruel but also so funny.
There are few really funny black comedies, and this is probably one of those rare moments when violence is not shown for exploitation, such as in the film "God Bless America!
Another interesting point in the film is a satire on horror films and it is shown not only in ridiculing cliched scenes, (which for 1994 was very unusual and interesting) the escape of a maniac for a victim, but also in a parody of the American dream of the 90s of the twentieth century.
The ending in the tape corresponds to this genre, it is idiotic but also funny in its own way.
Conclusion: Serial mom is a cool mix of satire with ironic and cynical humor, this is exactly the kind of film that you can turn on that laugh and not think about the plot.
