I thought the title was a simple coincidence but was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is a loose remake of 1980’s backwoods abduction film Mother’s Day. I realized it the first time “Queenie” was referenced as the imaginary boogeyman and that’s not something you forget if you’ve seen the earlier movie!
I liked the original but it was very amateurish, somewhere between Troma Studios silly and Last House On The Left real. This one makes substantial changes to the setting (now more of a home invasion than an abduction) and characters (mostly everyone in Mother’s brood is intelligent) and is non-stop tension. De Mornay plays a great sociopathic control freak. For the most part the victims were believable. I…
The 9th Annual Letterboxd Season Challenge
Loose remake of Charlie Kaufman’s 1980 cult classic with a little Rebecca De Mornay pizazz to lift the mood.
This movie is not bad at all. It's pretty lengthy but it should engage you quickly enough and it reminded me of 'The Strangers' or 'Last House on the Left'. I didn't like the ending tho.
"If my son dies, you die, and all of your friends."
There's a tornado on the way and Beth and Daniel are having a birthday party in the basement of their new house. They assure their guests that their new basement is reinforced and perfectly safe. Three men have robbed a bank across town and one has been shot. They high tail it for their mother's house. When they arrive at Daniel's birthday we find out that the house they just bought used to belong to the mother of the three criminals. When she arrives at the behest of her boys a life or death struggle between the family and the party guests ensues.
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman who…
Momma made a delicious looking cake and none of those bastards ate it?
So disrespectful!!
Lumped in with the rest of the Saw rip-offs upon release, mainly because director Darren Lynn Bousman was involved in some of the Saw sequel's, this is a cut above. There may be plenty of grisly, nasty stuff but this also features a lot of psychological horror, a chilling central performance and some terrifically tense scenes.
A remake of the 1980's film of the same name which I've never seen this doesn't spend any time messing about with plot or exposition and gets straight down to business. Three brothers have just taken part in a botched bank robbery with the youngest being badly wounded, needing a place to lay low they decide to head to their Mothers house but unknown…
They're forcing a girl to have sex with their bloody mess of a dying brother, and they play a song by the group 'Heartless Bastards'.😬
That really sums up this family though. They're just so fkn mean. Near the beginning the chap called Addley rushed into the room and turns off the music exclaiming 'I fkn hate disco'. Like obviously, it's clear even at that point that this guy hates absolutely everything.
It was strange to see Frank Grillo be such a coward, but this was probably better than the average home invasion movie.
Gostei um pouco menos vendo dessa vez, já q nao lembrava da maioria dos personagens serem tao burros por boa parte do filme e o final é bem corrido.
Apesar disso, cumpre oq propõe, dá uma raiva boa e acho melhor q o original.
Guess it was around 1983 when I was infected with Charles Kaufman's version. At 11 years old, one of the finest trips into the dark dimensions of exploitation! Well, that was then, this is now: 1980’s Mother's Day is now dreadfully dated. And I'm glad to see this brazen revamp pushing the original's idea to new heights. Why doesn't that happen more often?
And one more thing: I know it's become a taboo thing to say, but I'm actually very open to remakes. What a great way to celebrate your early ventures into the netherworld of Horror! And anyway, no need to mourn the originals — for they still linger in spirit with us...
Probably watched this 6 or 7 times since it released. It's a weird one for me as I like almost every actor/actress in this film but I hate almost every character in the film.
Whether it be the antagonists or the would be protagonists aka toxic frenemies. Everyone is a fucktard. Two dudes with guns against 10 or 11 adults?! No way they should've just cowered like that. Didn't take long for them to turn on one another either. At least a couple of the hostages eventually fight back. Others just sat around whimpering until it was to late. I get that everyone was scared but damn man. Hell the antagonists were even dumber fucks. They kept saying they just…
