An outwardly perfect suburban housewife leads a secret life as a psychopathic killer. When the woman's crimes, all committed to uphold her vision of family values, are revealed, the housewife becomes a media sensation, winning the hearts of millions.
A loose remake of Female Trouble with Polyester's subversively accessible polish, Serial Mom is the strongest film of the post-midnight-movie chapter of John Waters's career.
One of Waters' tamest and most accessible pictures (even played at Cannes Fest!) and one of the few to feature a legit star like Katheleen Thurner, who gives a gusto performance.
