How it feels

A former pop singer in a strained marriage plots murder and manipulation in her opulent California home. A gender-bending performance drives this parody of vintage melodramas about scheming older women.

What happens

Die, Mommie, Die! is a 2003 American satirical black comedy film written by female impersonator Charles Busch, who also plays the lead role. Partly spoof and partly homage, it draws heavily on the tropes and themes of American "Psycho-biddy" films and plays from the 1950s and 1960s that featured strong, sometimes dominating female leads. It is adapted from a play of the same name by Busch, first performed in 1999. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
