Ponder: This movie came out in 1972. The main character looks, dresses, and sometimes talks like Michael Jackson...plus he fancies little kids. Coincidence, or foretelling the future?
Bottom line, this movie was hilarious, plus the director actually had a few pretty good ideas. For instance, the use of color when Albert is thinking about molesting the little kid is interesting, as the little kid's room is completely bathed in innocent blue while Albert's is soaked in temptuous, lustful red.
Yes, the whole pedophile part of the movie is creepy and rather unsettling. What that has to do with Albert dismembering his mother, I don't know, unless you want to try some psychological tie with ruining this kid's life because his was so bad etc. etc. Either way, the title of this movie has almost nothing to do with the actual movie. Albert makes passing comments on how he hates his mother, but ultimately his fate ends up being turned into a mannequin.
Subtext aside, the movie is really poorly put together. Like I said, there are some good ideas, but the editing is so bad at times that I actually thought my tape (yeah...no DVD here) was broken. Turns out...ha ha, fancy that...it's just horrible editing.
The director went on to make a million direct to video atrocities, including one called "Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla," so you can imagine ultimately what you get here. On top of that, though, is a rather interesting yet unintentionally hilarious movie that actually succeeds to be creepy at times. If you can find the damn thing, I recommend snagging it.
