Timeless Classic finally gets it's Blu-Ray release

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's not very often that we get to see a B-Class horror movie get a re-release on Blu-Ray. This classic was released by 88 Films as part of their "Slasher Collection", it's number 2 out of 10.

Mother's Day is about 3 women who used to be college dorm roomies and they decide to have a reunion and go camping. Unaware, in the Garden State (NJ) backwoods lives a mother and her two backwood hick deranged sons. They must now fight for their survival against these lunatic killers.

Watching the movie first time through, it may not feel like a great movie, but it does have a lot of redeeming qualities to the film. The mother does a fantastic job and seems to really hold the whole picture together to give you that sense of something is wrong with these people. The two actors who play her sons also do a great job and can make you cringe with certain scenes.

The movie was pretty much damned for it's content, as it does involve a rape scene and men abusing women. But what I think redeems this movie as a classic is that it was a different idea in slasher films for it's time. The victims are working together to get through the madness, the killers give you the bad vibes, the creepy atmosphere with creepy music and it's all about 3 helpless women and their survival. It may feel dated, but remember it's from the 1980's, which was the era of horror movies! Kaufman had created a horror treasure with this film.

88 Films did a great job transferring this classic to a 1080p Blu-Ray format, even though it's a PAL release (which those of us who live in the USA, this version will play on our Blu-Ray players). Adding many bonus features including an interview with Eli Roth, a bunch of different trailers, behind the scenes footage, commentary and much more. This version of the film is currently the "ultimate release".

I did also get to see the remake of Mother's Day, starring Jamie King and I love that movie just as much as the original. Which the remake had more suspense and "Oh Crap!" Moments, there's just something about the original that you can't forget.

All in all, I'm glad the original has finally started to pickup with followers, it was a long time coming and desevers the attention as many had missed out on this gem due to it being censored. This is an obscure classic that should be in any horror fans collection!

The ending did if for me.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2018

This movie caught my attention for years sitting at my neighborhood video rental outlet before I was finally old enough to rent it on VHS and experience it for myself. Suffice it to say I wasn't disappointed. Eli Roth confirms that this is his favorite horror film and I can't say that I disagree with him. The film opens with a uncomfortable situation involving a seemingly kindly elderly mother giving a lift in her vehicle to a pair of teenagers who don't seem to have innocent intentions. However, this is only the beginning and by the time the credits roll the viewer is left with a completely backward opinion then when it began,

In brief, the film follows three woman who have been friends since college on an annual getaway and unfortunately find themselves in way over their heads despite their world weariness. The depth of depravity that the film stoops to isn't for everyone, but if you're in the mood to be thoroughly disgusted then this just might be the one for you.

Kickass movie!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2018

If you like movies like Last House on the Left or I Spit on Your Grave from the 70s you will love this movie. I do not know why Hollywood does not know how to make movies like this anymore that are genuinely creepy and actually good. This is a obviously a low budget film but most of the good movies from back in the day we're low budget but the production quality was top-notch. I don't know what the budget on this was but you would not even be thinking about that because the story is so good. Movies like Evil Dead and such were made on shoestring budgets. I think Evil Dead's budget was like $200,000. I saw an interview with the director of this movie and he owns a deli now and he apologized to the world for this film, funny right? He said it was a little too realistic. this guy should be given some kind of award for this movie really he doesn't have anything to apologize for.

Mother May I

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

Mothers Day has been a Favorite genre piece of mine since I saw it
in 1980..The movie itself is campy ,fun and very violent yet packs a few ironic twists.

As a woman I hate rape scenes but know that in these types of films they are necessary to really get the horrific nature of the story to resonate in your mind and to make whatever happens later all the more effective,It's in the vein of 'I Spit on Your Grave' because this is somewhat of a revenge film and a film not only about the vulnerability of women but also the strength that we as woman have when push comes to shove.

There are some over the top gore effects but in this type of film it works .It is after all a Troma release.When in a panic anything can be used as a weapon such as a can of Drano,a Television,an electric Carving Knife and even a breast shaped blow up pillow.
AS far as the clarity of the Blu Ray it was amazing ,I saw things that I wasn't able to see in the DVD..The extras were not bad but overall a great purchase ,and watch out for Queenie..

"It Could've Been Better!"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

This reminds me of "I Spit On Your Grave" and "The Last House On The Left" type. But this was made by Charles Kaufman Troma Films. It was an okay. "I Spit On Your Grave" and "The Last House On The Left" surpass this definitely. It could've had more gory to it. There would be less dialogue. It could have been better. Mildly recommended.

Classic slasher

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great classic slasher thriller from the early 80's. One of the many horror / thriller movies on the banned slasher movies list in the UK and remained so until 2015, finally released on DVD. Fantastic that so many of these originally banned movies have finally been released on DVD in the past 15 years or so. A lot of them seem so lame in this day and age but I can understand why this one remained banned for so long as it does contain scenes of torture and rape. These sort of scenes are not my cup of tea but this movie offers so much more.

Not amazingly original in its style, backward redneck brothers ruled by a psychotic mother kidnap and terrorise a group of young college girls. However, I loved the original twist close to the start of the film during the car ride. So many twists happen at the end of the film but this twist at the start set the theme and style to this classic slasher.

Not gonna go on about the plot like too many reviewers do as I don't wanna ruin it for those who a fan of this type of film. If like me you are a fan of these 70's / 80's slashers then I recommend you watch this. The acting ranges from acceptable to good and directing is good. However, the movie starts off good and tense but then seems to drop off and seems a bit long winded during the girls going on their camping trip for a short while. The movie then picks back up with plenty of intense scenes.

Overall a movie worth watching. Don't stop watching during the middle of the film when the girls set off for their camping trip (as this is a little dull) and you won't regret it. Enjoy and I hope you like it.

Probably one of the most dull 'horror' movies I have seen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2016

Probably one of the most dull 'horror' movies I have seen. Don't go into this expecting it to please you if you're a gore hound. After the opening scene of the guy's head getting chopped off, it's 1 hour and 10 minutes until someone gets killed again.

There is nothing shocking here. The Toxic Avenger is way worse and far better at this stuff.

Very disappointed.

Excellent release by 88films, for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

A superb release by 88films of this cult classic from 1980. A pristine print of the film, along with crystal clear audio, make this Blu-ray definitely worth the money. The film itself is debatable. It is a classic of the exploitation genre, and, at this, it excels. In terms of storyline, it is somewhat predictable, but for a Troma film, this is a pretty good yarn.

This is number 2 in the Slasher Classics Collection by 88films.

SO THAT'S HOW YOU PULL A GIRL

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 12, 2015

This is the unrated R1 DVD of Mothers Day.
It's the Anchor Bay release & the picture quality
is first rate, it fills all the screen on a modern TV.
Not quite as good as i remember & to be honest
it isn't that gory, it still has it's moments though.
The Disco/Punk argument is kind of funny.
1980
