Mother's Day (1980)
5/10
Are you proud mother?
29 August 2022
I was expecting a pretty trashy early 80s Rape & Revenge flick, and that's exactly what I got. But honestly I thought it was made better than I thought it was gonna be. Rape and revenge films is the only type of horror genre I hate so it's no surprise this one disgusted me like many others. But compared to others I've seen it wasn't the most graphic. Don't get me wrong it's pretty graphic & a lot of scenes with the girls getting assaulted was hard to watch almost, but I think I've seen much more violent movies than this. My favorite thing about the movie though was the friendship and bond between the three girls. They're pretty likeable and it was heartbreaking to see them tortured so rough. But we all know movies like this the Killers always get what they deserve and it is very much satisfying. The mother and the two brothers while cartoonish play their parts pretty well. Although I didn't laugh at any humor cuz I don't think movies like this should have humor. And I must say I didn't expect the mother to meet her end like that 😐. Their house was also quite something to look at. Piles of trash in every corner you have no problem believing this is a crazy redneck house. The movie has themes of consumerism and it's all throughout with stuff like a box of Trix cereal and a Sesame Street clock. I must also say while the ending had a bit of a setup it came off pretty out of place and ridiculous.

What more can I say it's definitely an experience for sure & definitely had effort put into it. But again as someone who hates seeing women get assaulted it's not for me.
