MOTHER'S DAY

When I was a kid I begged my dad to take me to see MOTHER’S DAY at the old Cosmo Movie Theatre in 116 Street - Manhattan, NYC. MOTHER’S DAY was playing as a double bill with another horror film titled NIGHTMARE. Cosmo no longer exist, now is a clothing department store. I remember seeing MOTHER’S DAY and my dad sitting next to me staring at the screen gagging at the violent images. MOTHER’S DAY was directed by Charles Kaufman (brother of Lloyd Kaufman - Troma Films), Three college Friends reunite for a reunion, they head to the woods, where they encounter two insane, sick depraved sons and their saucy, wicked, funny, kooky, bitchin mother played shockingly and amazing by Beatrice Pons. The three college girls get violently dragged inside a rickety, broke down home in the middle of the woods. The girls get beat, abused, chase, one of them gets violently raped, slaughtered. Two of the college girls escape the mad house and they go out into the woods where they decide to seek bloody vengeance against this fucked up family. And in the most excruciating, sick way the two girls kill them one by one in graphic details. This little classic horror gem is one of the best female vindictive horror films I ever seen on the screen, aside from I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.


Now the remake is in production, with Charlie Kaufman as the writer, and Rebecca De Mornay (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle) playing the wicked, insane mother. “SAW” Director Darren Lynn Bousman take us to a new setting from the woods (original MOTHER’S DAY setting) to a homestead. According to IMDB - the psycho boys and their psycho mother (De Mornay) return to their old home to torture the new occupants and their guests… Cast: Rebecca De Mornay, Jaime King, Shawn Ashmore, Briana Evigan, Alexa Vega, Matt O’Leary and Deborah Ann Woll.
