Anecdotes
When this film was originally shown in theaters, patrons were given free paper "Up Chuck Cups" when they purchased their tickets.

Gaffes
When Dr. Burton and the detective are talking at the Robertson residence after being informed of Albert's escape from the mental institution, the phone rings once and Albert's mother goes to retrieve it. The detective stops her and spends twelve seconds convincing her to keep him on the phone- it never rings again but she manages to pick up the receiver and Albert speaks to her on the other end.

Citations
Nurse: Albert, you know you're not supposed to watch this kind of film.

Crédits fous
Movie opens facing a man running a movie projector, as if the audience were looking back at him from the screen, credits rolling. A nurse comes in and tells the man that the doctor has told him watching such a movie was bad for him, the movie, in this instance, as seen by the audience as well, being "I Dismember Mama."

Versions alternatives
The film was unreleased in the UK until 1986. It was then issued on video as "Crazed" and cut by over 5 minutes by the BBFC with heavy edits to the scene where the maid is forced to strip at knifepoint, and later flashbacks to the same sequence.

Commentaire à la une

Prosaic psycho-on-the-loose flick with recycled ideas.

Don't let the clever I DISMEMBER MAMA title lead you to believe that this is going to be a bull's-eye grindhouse classic. Simply stated, this is a strictly par B thriller full of hand-me-down ideas, possibly a notch higher on the sicko-meter for presenting a psychotic antagonist unwholesomely obsessed with a little girl. Beyond that, a faceless dime-a-dozen vehicle with the usual kook harboring the usual resentment of females, and the usual unlucky lasses who become his victims.

It's a visually unappealing affair, with better performances from its principal cast than the base material really deserves, and a few scenes are admittedly set up fairly well. In the bigger picture, however, this is just an unimaginatively assembled exposition of something we've all seen a thousand times before, and done a thousand times better.

4/10...passable, but you'll certainly live to tell about how you didn't bother to see it.
