Die! Mommie! Die! is a campy melodrama evoking the 1960’s “Psycho- Biddy” thrillers that featured aging cinematic icons like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Lana Turner. Faded pop singer Angela Arden is trapped in a corrosive marriage to film producer Sol Sussman. In pursuit of happiness with her young employed T.V. star lover, Angela schemes to murder her husband. Will a resentful daughter, an emotionally disturbed son, and a botched acid trip expose all of Angela’s deep, dark secrets?
