The hilarious tale of a strange houseplant whose appetite grew from the neighborhood pets to more succulent dishes - and loved every piece!
When choosing a 'Mother's Day' themed film, this year, I tried to find something unique, maybe a film many readers hadn't heard of. I ended up with Please Don't Eat My Mother! The 1973 exploitation film, directed by Carl J. Monson, is an adult-themed parody of Roger Corman's The Little Shop of Horrors.
The film depicts the relationship between Henry Fudd, a timid man, and his female carnivorous plant. Henry, (Buck Kartalian) is very lonely, and tries to turn the plant into a friend. The plant ends up talking, in a seductive woman's voice and Henry soon learns the only plant food she'll eat are delicious young women.
One day, Henry's mother breaks into his room thinking to confront him with a woman and all she can find are Henry and the plant. The plant quickly eats her and Henry learns his female plant, only likes to eat women. Henry then decides to buy another plant, this time a male specimen. Henry quickly discovers that the male plant eats only men while the female plant eats only women.
Since Henry is an avid voyeur, creeping around the neighbourhood, watching mean and women have sex, he doesn't have any trouble finding hot naked bodies for his plants to consume. There are three scenes of male skin. Although there is just one with full frontal, director Carl Monson also captured scrotums in motion in two of the scenes.

The sex scenes are fairly tame, but also quite long, usually edited between shots of Henry watching. The couples seem to be actually having sex, something that's possible given I know at least one of the couples, (Ric Lutze & Rene Bond) were a married couple.
'Exquisite! Delightful! We'll have to do this again for our next dinner! Mmmm.'
Eve, the Plant
