Ed and His Dead Mother

A sad man brings back his deceased mother with the help of a sly salesman, but he soon finds out his mother has a new homicidal tendency and a craving for dogs. This is more of a comedy, but it borders on the horror side too since it deals with zombies and chainsaw deaths. Kinda chessy, but charming at the same time. Plus I'm a Steve Buscemi fan, and this is one of his few movies that he has a starring role. Decent flick and worth a watch. 3 out of 5.
