Every woman wants to be wanted… just not for Murder One!
Director John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray) brings his twisted cinematic vision to the seemingly mundane world of suburbia in Serial Mom, an outrageous dark comedy starring Kathleen Turner (Body Heat, Romancing The Stone).
Beverly (Turner) is the perfect happy homemaker. Along with her doting husband Eugene (Sam Waterston) and two children, Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard), she lives a life straight out of Good Housekeeping. But this nuclear family just might explode when Beverly's fascination with serial killers collides with her ever-so-proper code of ethics – transforming her from middle class mom to mass murderer! Soon, the bodies begin to pile up… and suburbia faces a horror even worse than wearing white after Labor Day.
Featuring appearances by Mink Stole, Suzanne Somers, Traci Lords, and Patty Hearst, Serial Mom is a bloody hilarious tale that's as American as motherhood, the flag, and apple die.

The Blu-ray transfer and special features are outstanding as usual. Another great Blu-ray release of a cult film from Shout! Factory

This is one of my favorite John Waters' movies!! I haven't seen it since I watched it back in the day on VHS!!! I was really excited to see this movie brought into the Blu ray era. It was just as good as I remembered it and so much more. Very pleased to own this movie. I loved the new art work/packaging, & bonus materials. This movie was so ahead of its time. It is a cleverly twisted and fun! :) Very happy with this purchase.

Some really great special features for a under-rated Waters gem.

Certainly among the best of John Waters movies, the humor is dark and cutting. His empathy and appreciation for the bizarre characters allows plenty of memorable moments and quotable lines. There is a wonderful time to be had with this release (what delicious extras & commentary tracks!).

I love John Waters. I love Ricky Lake more. I watched this movie when I was eating Cap'n Crunch Berries. The movie is better than the cereal but the cereal is pretty good too.
