Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
I'm sorry, I really should have posted this review in time for Mother's Day, as that was the synergistic video-release street date for the splatter-horror-remake-reboot-whatever MOTHER' DAY. Guess I make a lousy critic, or even more so, a lousy mother. At least I used to console myself that I was a competent craphound-movie historian - yet there is a blank spot in my mind (lucky me) regarding the original 1980 MOTHER'S DAY, on which this slicker, bigger-budgeted remake (produced by...Brett Rattner?!) is based.
I have dim memories of seeing parts of the original MOTHER'S DAY, even interviews with some of the actors - maybe in some kind of TV-news piece about cinematic violence and slasher-horror trends. But I am given to understand that, even with cameos by the initial MD talent somewhere in there, this really has no resemblance to the first MOTHER'S DAY. Sorry.
