Editorial Reviews
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.
Based on ''Mother's Day'' written by Charles Kaufman and Warren Leight, screenstory and screenplay by Scott Milam and Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, MOTHER'S DAY also stars Jaime King, Briana Evigan, Patrick Flueger, Deborah Ann Woll, Matt O' Leary, Jessie Rusu, Frank Grillo, Warren Kole, and Shawn Ashmore.

This movie turned out to be much more than I expected. It was quite a little gem in fact with equal parts suspense & splatter. I found myself glued to the screen and at times, not sure if I should root for the goodies or the badies. It's not overly pleasant (what do you expect from the director of Saw 2, 3 & 4) but entertaining nonetheless.

This Is A Very Good,Very Scary Thriller Type Movie With Plenty Of Gore.This Is A Movie,Not To Be Watched By The Younger Crowd(Children).
"Mother's Day" is a movie I would love to have watched in certain NYC theaters where the patrons loudly shout their support for the good guys and scream curses at the villians.
In this totally enjoyable suspenser, you're given a gallery of some of the meanest villians to be seen on the screen in years--led by the deliciously evil Rebecca De Mornay.
We watch and cringe as this version of Ma Barker and her family torture a group of "goodies" with such obvious enjoyment that your cringes turn into gasps.
There are no heroes in this fun entertainment directed by Daron Lynn Bousman. The captured men and women do everything wrong. They're given chances to escape but fail to do so. We never know who will be killed or tortured next.
You sit on the edge of your seat awaiting the next burst of unexpected violence and it comes out of nowhere.
"Mother" is an especially fascinating portrait of evil since the actress appears to be a well-groomed matron or executive from Wall Street. With her perfectly coiffed hair, pearls, business attire, her wickedness shocks.
She can merely nod at one of her psycho sons in the direction of one of the good people who've displeased her, and we watch the poor woman have her hair set on fire--or watch in horror as an innocent man is scalded with boiling water.
This movie has first-rate production values, camerawork, editing, and great stunt work from a small army of hearty souls.
I kept seeing Rebecca De Mornay as Margaret White--the whacko mother of Carrie White in the horror classic, CARRIE.
In this movie, our mother is as slinky and deadly as a Queen Cobra.

Horror, Suspense, Thriller
This movie puts you the edge of your seat. I can see why Mother's Day was picked for the title, "The mom is in charge so do what she says."
