Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
cmovies-99674 PROS: If I look at this movie from only a technical stand point there was a few things that had great potential. To start of, the action scenes were shot and directed very well. The suspense in each scene was well realized and well thought out. The benefit from this was a movie that was engaging, no matter how many times one looked away. To add on, the actors in this film were rather good. Screaming is easy, but real pain is different. The actors really pulled off their role. Another part that was helpful was a detailed set. The set and place were well materialized. You were put in a place that you've never scene before, and at the end of the movie you practically knew the house like the back of your hand.CONS: The sheer amount of worthless violence in this movie was sickening. The movie had a strong enough plot in it to do away with all the torture. It didn't help the watcher nor did it become an actualized part of the movie. After the amount of torture and violence in the film there was practically no where to go. The director dead locked himself in a way that the ending was insignificant and poorly designed. He fell into a cliché that was not needed or wanted, but there was no other way for the movie to become substantial. And to top it all off, the goals that each character had was forgotten as the film progressed due to torture being the driving force of the movie. www.chorror.com
McQualude A cut and paste of a dozen movies you've seen before. Rebecca De Mornay looks beautiful and she tries, really tries to be menacing, and she does just okay. Jaime King looks horrid. Her character was so unlikable that I had trouble judging her performance; maybe that means she was fantastic? I don't know. Shawn Ashmore had the most believable performance. There is probably a good movie in here somewhere but the writing and direction were so artless that it was tedious to watch. Apparently it's a remake of an old Troma film, I've never seen it but it must be better than this (edit: apparently I have seen it, I rated it 6/10 but I don't remember anything about it). If anyone is still reading and really wants to know, Mother's Day (2010) is the story of the dumbest possible people doing the dumbest possible things.
Kristen (uxiw) An unsuspecting trio of brothers invades a home their mother once owned after a bank heist--not knowing that a new family resides there now. After their cradle-robbing mother shows up, the deranged family terrorizes the new residents in search of something they'd sent to the house, hoping their mother had received, but that she never did. Viewers tend to view remakes as a nuisance and a waste of time, some bad twist of the original that does it no justice. However, upon viewing this "Mother's Day" remake, I was pleasantly surprised. Actors like Patrick Flueger, Warren Cole, Jaime King, and Rebecca De Mornay made the film an amazing spin of the original, possibly even better. For the first time I'm actually admitting that a remake was significantly superior to its original piece. In addition to the spectacular acting put into this film, the plot and story line picked up quick and left me on the edge of my seat, unable to look away as event after event flowed seamlessly in a perfect sequence. The 112 minute span of the movie was used wisely and I really give props to Darren Bousman for the amazing directing he did on this one. I definitely recommend this film to fans of horror, terror, and themes of home invasion, and anyone just looking for an actually decent remake.
Rich Wright One of those films that starts out like one of the worst ever, but by the brutal conclusion it actually turns out to be okay. You have to possess a pretty strong stomach for some of the content, which includes impalings, exploding heads and scalpings. But if you're a bit of a sicko like moi (don't tell my doctors) you'll fit right in, as well as appreciate some of the effective use of psychological tension throughout. The screenplay isn't vaguely believable, and some of the line readings will make you wince. But as a completely OTT horror is does the job, and De Mornay makes a great super-bitch. Nothing special, but worth a shot. 5/10
