SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Darryl Jason Yes I'm sorry, this review DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS but What a film! Having not seen the original, and unknowing to my mind that this was a remake, I stumbled across this film after seeing the Trailer back in 2010... I can't say I am a huge Rebecca De Mornay fan but she really pulls off a powerhouse performance as the "Mother" in the movie.I can't say that the film gave me a horrific feel because it didn't. I'd say it's more of a suspense-thriller and a good one at that. The torture scenes are quite brutal and like nothing I've ever seen before in a 'Home-Invasion' film or any kind of horror film for that matter.When I watched this film I was quite surprised at how De Mornay's character comes to know the party guests individually, briefly stepping into their personal lives, having not met any of them before she enters the house. For example, the scene in the kitchen when Annette is helping her with the ice cream and De Mornay gets a bit personal with her and says "It must have been hard for you after your daddy left..." How would she know her dad left if she didn't know her? One would wonder.I also felt that De Mornay's character didn't look very 'Vicious' enough; the clothes she was wearing etc. When you get an evil and dark character in a movie you imagine them to look darkly dressed in black, that kind of look ya know? But I felt she looked rather genuinely innocent for the role & very soft spoken. I mean, Anjelica Houston from "The Witches" scared me more and that was a children's film! De Mornay's appearance here seemed to only say it all with her eyes, she had that look where her eyes would go wide & details like that only shown me her nasty side. The whole 'cruel to be kind' attitude just shone from her throughout the entire movie. You'll see what I mean when you watch the film for yourselves.It's definitely recommended for those who are fans of Rebecca De Mornay, you won't be left disappointed & I assure you this movie will have you on the end of your seat from start to finish.Ace film!

davidmeth Its filled with sadism and for 80% of the film you are really mad at the injustice the victim suffer with little pay back at the end it... This film just got me mad and most actions don't really make sense and not much background on what is happening, a lot of it is just violence for the sake of violence... I love horror films but this was crap. On the up side acting was fine and direction was good and plenty of violence and gore... This film last close to 2 hours.. Way to long for what it offers... The motive of the bad guys was bad and the motive of the good guy was bad as well... And the end makes no sense its just ridiculous also wtf do they really have to give more bad credit to realestate agents haha... Fkn dumb movie not believable...

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.

MattyGibbs This is yet another home invasion movie but one with a bit of a difference. Allied to the usual psychopathic housebreakers is the added ingredient of their mother. I didn't really buy into the set up as it's pretty far fetched however that's not really the point of these movies so it didn't spoil it for me. Rebecca De Mornay is manic and slightly over the top as the ruthless mother of the psycho's. The rest of the cast put in surprisingly convincing performances. The film takes plenty of twists and increasingly brutal and at times unrealistic turns but nevertheless always remains horribly watchable. You do almost at times question why you are entertained by the horrific happenings.The film is very brutal and there are quite a few unpleasant scenes so if you don't like these kind of films you won't like it. For horror fans though this is a well made and very watchable film which is as unpredictable as you could wish for.
