Written & Directed by: John Waters
Starring: Kathleen Turner & Matthew Lillard
Genre: Comedy / Thriller
Serial Mom is a movie about a deadly female. The events kick off with this normal church family who looks like they can do no wrong but the mom is a psycho. She kills people because they don't do things the way she thinks they should be done. For instance, she killed this teenage boy because he didn't wear his seat belt while he was driving and because he dumped her daughter.
Usually the femme fatale isn't a main character, like in the old film noir movies, but she is the protagonist in this one. The reason why this works so well is because no one would suspect that the nice mom next door would be a murderer, so it ends up being both suspenseful and funny, because you'd never expect it. She tricks people into thinking she's something she's not.
I would recommend this movie to someone who like gory and twisted movies. I would also suggest you see it if you like movies that both dark and funny, two things that typically don't go together, but work here. Also, if you just like strange movies that you really didn't think could exist, see Serial Mom.
