Noted by collectors of modern B-movies for its poor script and amateur acting, The Granny has been called "one of the finer pieces of trash".

[1][2] The family of a wealthy woman named Anastasia "Granny" Gargoli (Stella Stevens) wants her to die, in order for them to inherit her insurance.

It is up to Kelly (Shannon Whirry) and Amy (Samantha Hendricks) to stop the blood hungry, vampire-like granny.

The film also featured the song Hard Feelings by the heavy rock band Blackthorne from their album Afterlife.

Initially the film was to be given NC-17,[citation needed] but eventually was rated R for violence and gore, crude sexuality and language.
