Aroma of Troma: Rabid Grannies (1988)

Rabid Grannies (1988) dir. Emmanuel Keryn, Stardust Pictures Nr.1/Troma Entertainment 


Somewhat confused with this, as half the sources I've seen say Troma only distributed this, while the other half say it was a joint production. With a title like that, I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't include it this year. 


Sisters Elizabeth (Joelle Morane) and Victoria (Suzane Vania) are celebrating their birthday at their ancestral estate. They've invited all their nieces and nephews, save Christopher. Seems the old boy is the black sheep of the family, what with the devil worship and all. 

Not to worry, even though he was cut out of the will, they are still in his heart. To show his appreciation for all that they've done for him, he even sent them a gift, a very rare box.  

When the family, who to the man are utterly whiny trash just waiting for old dears to die so they can get rich, are assembled in the dining hall to eat cake and open presents, the box is opened. The party continues, only now it is the guests who are eaten and opened. 

Can the family and servants survive the party?

Should be noted that none of the women are grandmothers, but I suppose 'demonic great-aunts' doesn't sell as well. 

The title tells you everything you need to know. Even the butchered English cut has gore aplenty to satisfy maybe not the most jaded of gorehounds but it would make a decent Thursday night.
