Ed and His Dead Mother
“A family reunion with some minor complications.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A grieving son buys a service that promises to bring his mother back. The sales pitch proves considerably more reassuring than the result, and domestic life takes a grotesque turn. Steve Buscemi, Miriam Margolyes and John Glover give this deliberate black comedy a pleasingly peculiar household.

The review praises Glover's falsely reassuring salesmanship and the absurd image of Margolyes pursuing a dog with a cleaver.
