Later I watched slasher films and other weird oddities the bigger chains wouldn't touch, like Galaxy of Terror and Up the Academy.

I saw great movies there, like Frogs and Planet of the Apes sequels. There was a little theater in the neighborhood where I grew up in the '70s called the Beechmont Twin. I think it's one of the best Waters movies and it is a perfect introduction to his world for people who want something a little stronger than Hairspray, but might not quite be ready for Pink Flamingos or Desperate Living.

The entire movie is framed as a documentary.

#SERIAL MOM 1994 SERIAL#

Serial Mom is a sharp satire of serial killer worship, true crime buffs, celebrity adulation, and media sensation. Regular Waters actors Ricki Lake and Patricia Hearst round out the cast. Longtime Dreamland actress Mink Stole is great as a phone prank victim. Sam Waterston is also good as her dumbfounded husband, and future Scream and Scooby-Doo star Mathew Lillard is excellent as Turner's horror-happy video store clerk son. By appearances she is a normal Mom, but she builds up a body count of people who disappoint her.

Turner is magnificent in a role that could have been done by Divine. She is the embodiment of the maxim that serial killers appear to be normal people, but act out on a dark side of their natures. Kathleen Turner is the star of Serial Mom. The success of Hairspray allowed John to get big enough budgets to acquire Hollywood actors. Serial Mom has the look of a slick Douglas Sirk melodrama. Most of John's films are intentionally campy and owe a lot to the underground films of the Kuchar Brothers. It's also the closest Waters has come to achieving the look of a real mainstream production. Shot in 1993 and released in 1994, Serial Mom is a forerunner to hip, self-aware '90s satires like Natural Born Killers and Scream. He managed to do so without really compromising his trashy trademark aesthetics. For John to make any real money he had to tone things down a bit. Nothing like his notorious early atrocities, of course. Of course even these family-friendly, foot-tapping joyrides had moments of weirdness. His previous two features, Hairspray and Cry Baby, were nostalgic, rock and roll driven light comedies. All in all, a delightfully politically incorrect comedy led by a Kathleen Turner on top form.Serial Mom was the return of John Waters to R-Rated movie territory. Moreover, for this extraordinary director, it is the occasion to harm the model image of the American family. In 'Serial Mom', you also recognize Waters' strong taste for bloody, gore and horror movies. You don't get bored one moment and you honestly laugh in front of all these murders.

The whole is condensed in one hour and a half. In 'Serial Mom', most of the comical situations are structured about the two quoted characteristics. Maybe, a little too respectable so that when someone speaks ill of one member of her family, Beverly is ready to kill to defend her family! Only one filmmaker seemed designated to shot this highly entertaining black comedy: John Waters, the king of bad taste and extravagance. In short, she is a respectable human being with the particularity of being a real stickler for good manners. Her husband is a dentist and she does her best to bring up her children. Imagine this: the main character is a woman called Beverly Sutphin. Cocksucker, that's what she calls me.Д«everly Sutphin: LISTEN TO YOUR FILTHY MOUTH, YA FUCKIN' WHORE! I'm a divorced woman, please help me.Д«everly Sutphin: Well what exactly does this sick individual say to you?Дottie Hinkle: I can't say the words out loud, I don't use bad language.Д«everly Sutphin: Oh well, I know it's difficult but we need to know the exact words.Дottie Hinkle: I'll try.
