After escaping a lethal injection for the murders Mommy (Patty McCormack) had committed, she is given a special implant in her arm that will keep her from having homicidal urges. However, since she still tries to see her daughter and other murders are continuing, it doesn't look very good for Mommy.

Quite the different tone from the first Mommy movie, this went into more of a vibe like The Fugitive to some extent.
We still get some kills and low budget thrills in this sequel. Overall this was an okay watch but really I’m not sure we needed a sequel.
"Don't you know the sequel is never as good as the original?"
On most days, those would seem like words of wisdom. But not today. Because today is Mommy's Day.
A rare sequel that is superior to its predecessor in almost every way, Mommy 2: Mommy's Day takes the solid (if crude) foundations laid down by the first Mommy and uses them as a launchpad to rocket itself to new heights of camp insanity.
Patty McCormack returns as the murderous matriarch Mrs. Sterling, who is granted a reprieve from death row in exchange for receiving an experimental implant that will (hopefully) suppress her violent impulses. Despite this, the general public isn't exactly thrilled to have the "Killer Mommy" walking among…
May as well watch the sequel eh? This one definitely leans more into the slasher aspect than the first one, but it’s more of the same movie. There’s so much earnest camp here though that makes the movie at least watchable.
#6 in my 2022 celebration of horror, fear, and shock cinema: Hoop(-)tober 9: The Hoopbeginning is the Hoopend is the Hoop… orchestrated by the Letterboxd member, Cinemonster. (And, of course, here is his community / project originator page / list for the year.)
The last minute or so sews some strong confusion. Protagonists are suffering debilitating nervous system attacks? (Heart attacks? Brain attacks?) No explanation. And... suddenly, just seconds before the credits roll: the racism from the previous film is back. What in The Everloving Fuck?
Before that, things had improved so much over the original- I was stunned. Nearly 80 entire minutes spent stunned. Completely. I had no idea the original filmmaker had something this good in him!!
Even…
The slasherfication of Mommy wasn't at all successful, but it definitely made for a more fun movie.
Part of my brain is broken.
A saturday night double feature after an intense as fuck month of both Mommies is my Blue Sunshine.
Say hi to your grammar for me & I guess I'll see you in 10 years.
You'll see the Psycho homage coming a mile away, but can you guess which Tim Burton film also gets the shower scene treatment?
A conceptually better/worse film than the first. Not just a gimmick & an old plot, no, not this time. But it is stupider, but it does rip off/homage so many more things.
Everything here is very slashie & we are all lost.
Lost.
A treasure trove of gold & nightmares.
Like this one much better that the previous film. But still, the little girl can't act worth of shit. At least they dropped her terrible narration for this one.
This sequel to the enjoyable first movie is campier and plants tongue firmly in cheek. It's funny, at times, and also feels like it goes into slasher territory.
Patty McCormick really chews up the scenery. And, this flick gets extra points for bringing back the actress who played the janitor in the first one as her sister. Which is great cuz she's a hottie anda fun actress to watch. The lovely Brinke Stevens is back too, in fact everyone that makes sense actually is (minus Jason Miller).
I give the slight edge to this one for all the reasons I mentioned above but both make for a fun viewing

So says Patty McCormack — right before she throws a man face-first into a desktop computer screen, frying him to death in a flurry of sparks — and she's right.
