Prosaic psycho-on-the-loose flick with recycled ideas., 19 August 2003
Author: nostrilingus from fabulous Las Vega$!

Don't let the clever I DISMEMBER MAMA title lead you to believe that this is going to be a bull's-eye grindhouse classic. Simply stated, this is a strictly par B thriller full of hand-me-down ideas, possibly a notch higher on the sicko-meter for presenting a psychotic antagonist unwholesomely obsessed with a little girl. Beyond that, this is a nonessential dime-a-dozen thriller with the usual kook harboring the usual resentment of females, and the usual unlucky lasses who become his victims.

It's a visually unappealing affair, with more adept performances by it's pricipal cast than the base material really deserves. It's not a total toss-out, as there are a few fairly workable moments, but in the bigger picture, this is just an unimaginatively assembled exposition of what we've all seen a thousand times before, and done a thousand times better.

4/10...passable, but you'll certainly live to tell about how you didn't bother to see it.
