Product Description

Product Description

Loving sons always do what their mothers tell them to...even if it's to kill. Directed by Charles Kaufman (brother of Troma President Lloyd Kaufman), the classic Mother’s Day delivers laughs and chills with liberal doses of nail-biting suspense. When three college buddies decide to rekindle their comraderie with a camping trip, they become the unwitting prey of a very dysfunctional family. As unforgettable as Deliverance, as terrifying as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a twisted statirical humor in the Kaufman vein, this Mother's Day will leave you feeling frightened and amazed!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ending did if for me.

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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Classic finally gets it's Blu-Ray release
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to rate
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012

I did include a star rating, but it's difficult for me, especially when other's are relying an my opinion. So all I can tell you is that I like the movie a lot, because: 1. it's a classic, 2. it's well acted and well made, 3. the female characters played great and their friendship really comes to life in the film, 4. it stands shoulder to shoulder with Day of the Woman (aka I spit on your grave).
That's in short why I gave the movie a five star rating, but beware if you are sensitive to and dislike misogynistic content, then you should avoid this movie at all costs.

Do not buy this copy. Horrible. If seeking a digital HD version YOUTUBE has it and it's quite close to the blu ray I have from 88 FILMS.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ghastly...But in what way? (Or does it really matter?)
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2008
Verified Purchase
I saw this movie when it came out in 1980 and remembered it as a very typical slasher of the day. Seeing it (and other films from back then) in 2008, I'm struck by how much has changed. Even the worst movies made today, with the worst actors, have standards far and away better than "Mother's Day." And yet, they're not really as good. Hmm...
"Mother's Day" is actually a bad movie with a lot of heart, so it's a lot of fun to watch, and maybe that's what really matters. Gather a bunch of friends, pop it in, and enjoy it for what it is... a ghastly (but enjoyable) flick about a ghastly family and three obnoxious sorority sisters who kinda-sorta deserve what happens, just because they're all so delightfully annoying. B++

Excellent 5-star movie from a time when graphic horror movies were making a bold breakthrough. The creepy music, and outrageous dialogue will have you in awe as you journey your way through this unforgettable creep ride. It starts quick with the wise words from the motivational speaker in the beginning of the movie, along with the weirdness of the hippy blonde chick asking the mother, "is your husband waiting for you?" (I love that part). And it goes on from there... A must have for any horror fan who gravitates toward the weird/Troma type of horror films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic slasher
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2017

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.

Muy bien logradada , tiene gore, violencia, depravación, villanos grotescos, momentos de tensión como irónicos. Es una joya para los coleccionistas.
La película cuenta con una calidad de imagen remasterizada y superior a la que se aprecia en el DVD, y excelente sonido. Como extras tiene trailers, tv spots, y detrás de cámaras y comentario de Eli Roth sobre la película . A pesar de que es de Anchorbay para que lo tomen en cuenta NO tiene subtitulos ni en inglés ni en español, para quien no domine el idioma, sólo por eso le puse 4 estrellas. En cuanto el servicio de Amazon excelente como siempre.
