To respond to Tura, the difference between this, "Black Devil Doll From Hell" and the works of Andy Milligan or Doris Wishman isn't that those are truly bad while this is merely mediocre. The difference is that they are inspirationally, uniquely, mostly entertainingly bad (I say "mostly" because Wishman can really wear you out sometimes). "Mommy" is uninspirationally bad--terrible even, but about as interesting as watching somebody else's home movies. Or one of those "LipDub" videos imitating the very few decent ones, the ones that are really only bearable if you're actually in them and thus can entertain yourself saying "Oh look it's Tanya! There goes Shawn! Ooh here comes Molly behind that shrub!" Although I'd be surprised if even the actors in "Mommy" get any pleasure from watching it--I'd imagine it seemed a lark at the time but now it probably just makes them cringe, as at least some of them had serious professional careers back in the day, and this enterprise is so amateurish and lame.
