I give Mother's Day a higher rating because of it's cult classic status. There were many things I thought worked well and there were some I thought should be changed. I think instead of making the villians funny in the movie they should have kept with to the nastiness of them because they could have been very hate able characters if we didn't have the option of laughing at them. The overall violence is good! Hammer to the groin, acid powder down one guys throat, electric kitchen knife, it had some great kills, I'll give it that. It is above the food chain when it comes to low budget cult!
First, I want to know whose sister, wife, or lover the first victim was. One of the worst actresses ever.
Now, about the movie. Awesome. The opening scene is frighteningly convincing to me because I have had to attend corporate sensitivity training and motivational seminars. They really are that creepy. It was a nice payoff when Mother claims her first victim and repeats the mantra from the meeting.
The same man is probably the father and grandfather of the two brothers. I'm not kidding.
I won't go into the plot because quite honestly, there really isn't much of one. But that's not the point of this movie. You will see people get tortured and killed in fun ways. And that's a good time for everybody.
Wow! Words can hardly express how much I love this movie! This is a true 80's horror classic, with a little bit of camp thrown in for fun! I can't say enough about this underseen little gem!
The three actresses (Nancy Hendrickson, Deborah Luce, Tiana Pierce)that star in this movie seem to have a great chemistry amongst themselves. Their laughing and playing comes off smoothly and they are quite convincing as old college pals. Their scenes together flow naturally throughout the film and do not come off as contrived in the slightest bit.
The brothers Ike (Holden McGuire) and Addley (Michael McCleery) are SUPERB in their roles!! They truly give off the creepiest vibe with such ease that it's hard to tell that they are acting.
Lastly, Rose Ross is fantastic in her role as Momma. She can be sweet, demanding, scary, demented, and creepy without batting an eyelash.
People have criticized this film for years but it is a film that really entertains the serious horror fan. I have been watching these movies for 25 years and this is definitely one in my top 5! Mother's Day achieves what it sets out to do!! It scares its audience first, and then successfully makes you care about its characters before terrifying you all over again!!
Do you root for killers, do you root for the victims, or do you root for Queeenie??
Hell .. I root for them ALL every time I watch it!!
I acutally enjoyed this movie... It clearly gets it story line from Texas chainsaw and other horror films... but the effect of shock and terror it gives you is was makes it a really good scare fest
