Search - I Dismember Mama on DVD

Albert, institutionalized for attacking his mother with a knife, escapes and starts killing “unpure” women, which seemingly includes every female over the age of twelve. He ends up kidnapping the eleven-year-old daughter of his mother’s servant. He falls in love with her as we the audience cringe. The film is rather difficult to watch, due to the pretty blatantly pedophilic overtones. The film’s score is wildly inappropriate, sounding as if it wandered in from a live-action Saturday morning Filmation show. Director Paul Leder followed this up with the exponentially-worse A*P*E. Contrary to the title (which, admittedly, is one of the all-time great exploitation titles), no mamas, or any other cast members for that matter, are dismembered.

Poor Albert...Poor DVD Release!

"'I Dismember Mama' (also known as 'Poor Albert And Little Annie') deserves a better release than what Substance Home Video delivers...a bare-bones, full screen version of the film, with nothing more than a wimpy photo gallery. If you own a copy of the original VHS tape, save your money!

Back in the seventies, this was one of the "grindhouse" classics that screened a double-bill with 'The Blood-Spattered Bride'! Where's the original theatrical trailer? I would have enjoyed watching a retrospective featurette on the making of this cult classic with interviews by actor Zooey Hall and actress Geri Reischl! Hopefully, a reputable DVD company like Subversive Cinema (who released the cult classic 'The Candy Snatchers' in a beautiful digitally-remastered package) or Code Red DVD (who did a wonderful job of releasing 'Girls In Chains') will give 'Poor Albert And Little Annie' the respect they rightfully deserve."
