- Synopsis:
"Mother's Day" introduces us to three twenty-something women on a camping trip to hell. Our helpless heroines are stalked and snatched by a pair of psychosexual brothers and their insane parent - but oestrogen proves tough to overcome and "Mother's Day" ultimately provides us with a chair-gripping, sanguine-stained battle of the sexes. Prepare to be disoriented and disturbed by one of the true greats of eighties independent terror! Considered to be a classic of the backwoods-slasher genre, "Mother's Day" debuted in 1980 to censorship problems and critical confusion - but gained a fan following that includes such Hollywood heavyweights as Eli Roth and Brett Ratner. Indeed, Ratner would eventually produce a lavishly budgeted 2010 remake, starring Rebecca De Mornay, although - as in most cases - it is the original which is most potent and powerful! - Actors:

If You Go Down In The Woods Today - Mother's Day review by Spoons
It must be said that most of the so called video nasties were dreadful affairs and look even worse when seeing them today. However Mothers Day is one that manages to rise above the dross and manages to entertain. I first saw this back in 1983 and liked it then and it still holds up today. It's nothing original as it treads the well worn path of sicko psycho's in America's backwoods. However it does boast some nice set pieces and some great gore FX. Couple this with a cracking uncut print released by the distributor and you have a video nasty that is actually well worth seeing.
