Review of Mother's Day

Mother's Day (1980)
1/10
Pointless, gratuitously violent and degrading
8 October 2004
I saw this film in its theatre release. I have never viewed any movie with more gratuitous violence. The plot was meant to deliver suspense, when all the viewer gets is more senseless violence.

The 2 male lead actors are repulsive morons who kidnap 3 young women, for the sole purpose of tieing them up and repeatedly raping them -- all to the apparent delight of their elderly (yet no less deranged) mother. Eventually the victims turn tables on their captors.

What a wonderful Mother's Day present! Disgusting and sick. This film is an embarrassment to the industry! What message is such a women-hating film sending to adolescent males (who likely comprise almost the entire target audience). Is rape cool? Do women ask for it? Is violence fun? These are the images shown in this so called piece of "entertainment". And we wonder why we are such a violent society.
