A mourning son makes a deal to reanimate his one year dead mother, however things turn into an unexpected direction.
Black comedy about a son’s undying love for his undead mother! Life just hasn’t been the same for Ed Chilton since his mother passed away. Sharing the house with cantankerous Uncle Benny, Ed quietly keeps the memory of his beloved mother alive. Until the day A J Pattle walks into Ed’s life selling an unusual project – life. For a price he promises he can bring Ed’s mother back to life, just the way she used to be. Ed accepts Pattle’s offer and is overcome with joy when there before him stands his mother. Gradually life becomes a nightmare and bringing mother back may have been a grave mistake. Pattle tells Ed he can deal with his manic mother, but the solution may be too much for poor Ed.
“With a strong cast and a ‘timeless’ set design — half 1950s, half 1990s — ‘Ed and His Dead Mother’ is an eccentric gem.” – Film Threat
“‘Ed and His Dead Mother’, the darkest of dark comedies, boasts a wonderfully original script by Chuck Hughes and a well-nigh perfect cast.” – Los Angeles Times
“Entering into it with zero expectations, ‘Ed and His Dead Mother’ proves an oddly likable film. It has a really way out sense of humour.” – Moria Reviews
