1995 Directed by Luca Bercovici
Granny's family wants her dead so they can collect her insurance. While she is on her death bed, she drinks an eternal life potion and returns to the land of the living. She is on a mission to wreak havoc over her greedy relatives.
"SHE'LL LOVE YOU TO DEATH!!"
Hope you like your brain refried like beans because this is a one way trip to brain cell hell! The Granny is pure 90s trash. Obnoxious and unrelentless everyone is constantly over acting creating a cringy cartoonish energy. The granny's acting is absolutely ridiculous and I couldn't figure out whether I loved it or hated it. Like really bad acting. Embarrassing high school drama class level acting.
Grannies family can't wait until she is dead to claim the insurance money. But before she dies ol granny drinks an eternal life potion! It isn't long before she comes back to life as a deadly demon to carry out revenge on her greedy family! And thank God…

“You were a load I should have swallowed!”
Granny (Stella Stevens - The Poseidon Adventure) can’t stand her family, she knows they can’t wait for her to croak so they can steal her fortune. They don’t hide their distain for her much, bringing “shitty passive-aggressive family get together” to a whole new level. When she finally bites the big one, her family’s ecstatic, thinking they’re finally free of her. What they don’t know is she downed some immortal elixir before passing and now she’s back to murder the greedy vultures.
This was more fun than I expected! The movie gives us enough time to hate her family and be sympathetic of Granny and her only relative…
YOURE THE LOAD I SHOULD HAVE SWALLOWED
This is wonderful from start to finish, granny doing a fabulous Susan Tyrell and surrounded by a group of vile yuppies. The last 30 min is SO good. Just when you’ve thought you’ve seen everything worth seeing from pre 00s horror these gems keep coming up time and time again, makes me so happy man
Whenever I chuck on a shitty horror film, this is what I hope for. With The Granny you get it all: dumb, gory, gimmicky deaths with great gore effects, lots of terrible and hilarious dialogue ("You're a load I should have swallowed!"), gratuitous fake boobs, a wisecracking villain, crazy puppets (including a gruesome cat-corpse puppet), the film's director playing a ponytail-sportin' cool guy, and even a penis being ripped off. Thanks, Luca Bercovici. Thanks, The Granny.
Pardon....she loved naebdy, cept hersel.
What a shit family Kelly has, it's a proper cinderelly story, and the family are well after granny wares.
Granny likes the rassling, has time for Kelly but talks to her like shite. You're a pure wee minger Kelly, but you're my wee minger. Love ya Kelly mwah.
Here's your medicine to make you eternal.....but you must follow some rules....pffffft rules are for breaking, lets be real Granny was never a live, love, laugh kind of lady....thankfully.
I mean her family were a bunch of welts. Best kill was the come to life skinned animals.
All that evil power yet you pull the blinds up and its over. Pooft

We don’t have enough Thanksgiving horror, in this reviewer’s humble opinion. However, The Granny surprises beyond its comically lazy and lame title by being a good bit of dark comedy slashing. You don’t reach the slashing until the back half, but the first half works in large part due to its colorful characters and hints of future possession and awesome practical effects work. This all pays off in a monster madness finale that delivers where it matters most. While it won’t win points for originality, it’s certainly a fine way to spend 85 minutes or so.

This movie is hateful and rude and just completely bonkers. A bowl of Lucky Charms with crunched up Adderall. The insane, wisecracking, murderous granny is very over the top, like Freddy Krueger after he's had a few beers and is feeling great and extra full of himself.
Contains everyone's favorite horrible movie faux pas: a woman wearing glasses = an ugly, worthless non-person (this woman is usually played by a model, a porn star, someone who has been in many erotic thrillers, etc, so clearly it's ironic and hilarious, right fellas)
The Granny loves watching wrestling and hates her whole family (minus Shannon Whirry) and she calls them "a pack of jackals," which I thought was a really funny phrase.…
Went to eat dinner and came back just in time to see the granny cut someone's private part off
Granny has dozens of punchlines & annihilates her hateful family because she drank an elixir while disobeying the directions which turned her into an eternal demonic granny. She cuts off a dick & throws it across the room prior to Thanksgiving dinner. She’s calls her grandson a turd while commentating her devastating wrestling moves. Patrick Kilpatrick makes an appearance as a priest & she decides to twist his head around. Granny is not a nice granny but she’s a fucking hoot.
THIS IS AWESOME. Wow i love the treasure trove that is direct to video horror movies that are uploaded on youtube.
This movie starts in the most insane way. It's like the 1600s or something in some village and we're introduced to this guy (who is immortal) that gives a potion to people that makes you live forever. BUT you cannot let it become exposed to direct sunlight otherwise it gets all spoiled and nasty and turns you evil. The beginning is just one of this guy's many blunders (blunder being someone that drank the potion and turned evil) I assume, he's god knows how old and he gives this magic potion out to people but never actually stays with…
