Movie Info
From the maker of Saw II, III and IV, Mother's Day is a graphic remake of the Troma horror classic, Mother's Day. After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers go home to hideout...only to discover that their Mother (Rebecca De Mornay) lost their house in a foreclosure. The new owners and their party guests become the depraved brothers' unwitting hostages. Their sadistic Mother soon arrives and brilliantly takes control of the situation, ratcheting up the terror. As the hostages struggle desperately to survive the harrowing torture, they realize that there is nothing a Mother won't do to protect her children. -- (C) Anchor Bay
Mother's Day
The domestic-hostage film is the elimination-style reality-TV show of thriller movies, both of which offer the spectacle of personalities tested or shattered by the crucible of pressure. Returning to the roots of the genre,Mother's Day takes something of its premise and characters from the homemade 1980 Troma horror farce of the same name, best remembered for its grotesque, homey VHS box art. This new Mother's Day, however, represents a more efficient, state-of-the-art breed of splatter entertainment, engineered as it is by Darren Lynn Bousman, who made his name with machine-tooled torture spectacles Saws II though IV. A middle-class housewarming party—the big cast means plenty of fresh meat for the hopper—is interrupted and taken captive by the home's former residents, the fugitive Koffin brothers, Ike and Addley (Patrick Fluegerand Warren Kole), who are soon joined by their leader, prim, firm, and fatally putative Mother (Rebecca De Mornay, fresh from the icebox). The hostages break into warring factions—one in favor of appeasement, the other uprising—while Ike chaperones the lady of the house (Jaime King) on a cash-collecting ATM run. The ATM breakaway was also a plot device in the recent Spanish home-invasion film Kidnapped (these movies are really starting to run together), thoughMother's Day is distinguished, at least, by De Mornay's porcelain-smile lampoon of castigating matriarchy
