Movie Review: A Tromatic 80's Classic!
Summary: 4 Stars
Mother's Day is a classic piece of early 80's cinema that demandingly pelts the viewer with violence, gore, black humor and wit. This is more than a low budget splatter-fest and if you keep your eyes and ears peeled you'll catch all kinds of sub-texts and social commentaries that this type of picture is usually devoid of. Not surprisingly, Mother's Day remains as caustic and telling 25 years after its release as it was in 1980.
The storyline is simple, three former college co-eds escape the city for a weekend of relaxation in the woods. Of course relaxation is the last thing that these city twits are gonna get because brothers Ike and Adly are hell bent on having their way with them, and rest is certainly not on the menu.
The girls are dragged unmercifully to the inbreds' shack and are formally introduced to Mother. Mother approves of their latest earmarks, "Boys, you've made your mother very proud." From here on out the girls are tortured and raped, humiliated and debased in a variety of savage ways.
All the while Ike and Adly spout sound bytes from movies, music and television. They almost have their own language that only they can understand-like they're speaking in code. To the girls' dismay part of their torture includes pantomiming scenes from the clan's favorite movies. This type of behavior somehow validates these red-necks and they come away thinking that they are normal; or better yet, "citified."
This brood of backwards hill-jacks are a poisoned by-product of heartless, soulless Pop culture. They've O.D.'d on saccharine soaked cinema and gimmicky bullsh*t rock. Ike and Adly are intellectually incapable of recognizing fiction from nonfiction. They are violent and impulsive because that is exactly what they see and hear day in and day out on the tube. It's interesting to note that Mother's Day appears to be reacting to the very type of film that it is-though I don't think that was the directors intent.
Eventually one of the girls dies and it's up to the other two to avenge her death and boy do they! Axes to the groin, multiple stabbings and a gullet full of Drano do the boys in, but Mother gets extra special treatment as she is suffocated by a transparent inflatable pillow shaped like a pair of C cup breasts. Fantastic!
Unfortunately Mother's Day has yet to find its real footing in horror movie history, but in time it most surely will. What it lacks in plot and character development, is more than made up for with charm, cleverness and extensive bloodletting. Mother's Day could be considered the first Troma film, though in 1980 Troma was only a glimmer in the eye of Lloyd Kaufman. It would be 6 more years before Tromaville begat its gut buster of a splatter pic-The Toxic Avenger.
This DVD version contains gobs of extras including; Audio commentary by the director, an interview with the director, trailers and sneak peeks.
Movie Review: SICK TWISTED MUTHA OF A CULT CLASSIC! HORROR VETERANS ONLY!
Summary: 4 Stars
After the success of 'Halloween' in the late 70's, it seemed a week didn't go by when some holiday or yearly event wasn't being turned into the next horror atrocity! Black Christmas, April Fool's Day, Friday The 13th, Happy Birthday To Me and Mother's Day!.......Ahhh good old Mom!...Maw..Mammy or whatever term of endearment you might wanna use. 'Mother Dear' is a sweet old gal in this gruesome, repulsive and nasty tale of sick depravity, torture and revenge. In spite of itself, I happen to like this film!?? I don't know why?...Maybe the over the top performances or gore sequences? or maybe the demented black comedic undertone laced through the film? Whatever it may be....It does have a sense of style and the extremely vengeful redemption scenes are priceless! Don't forget about ol' "Queenie"! This one is a must see for horror fans but some gals may want to leave this one to the guys. It does have some extremely cruel rape scenes that may put you off in a big way. I'm glad I bought this when it was in print. out there somewhere! LOL!
Happy Halloween CB and the rest of my horror crazed buddies at Amazon!
Movie Review: A very differnt kind of mother
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of troma's earliest movies, a very good low budget horror/revenge movie. There is little blood and gore when compared to troma's other classics like the toxic avenger but this one has a very good story to match. A backwoods mother orders her boys to kill,while she watchs and approves. They kidnap 3 city girls and abuse 1 to the point of death. The remaining 2 must now take revenge for their fallen comrade, and revenge they take. Most of the blood shed take place at the end, with 1 scene in the very begining. While watching you feel for the girls and really want them to put this deranged family in there place(which they do). The ending was unexpected(who thought the old lady was telling the truth,not I for one) watch and you will see what i mean. Recomended for fans of revenge/exploitation horror but and fan of the horror genre in general will enjoy this movie.Movie Review: Sexy Rednecks Get Killed by College Bimbos
Summary: 4 Stars
Two really hot rednecks are unfortunately killed by two ex college roomies who apparantly have nothing better to do then get together once a year to remember (choke) their college days.They start out as a trio and thankfully one of them is done away with early on. The other two kill the sexy rednecks and then their retarded mother. I mean really...the only interesting people in this film are the redneck boys and then those college morons killed them. Thankfully at the end, the maniacal QUEENIE jumps out and gives those girls WHAT FOR for murdering her hot nephews.
I was rooting for the rednecks all the way. If I had met them I would have asked them for a date. Why are women always turning down advances by such hot guys. What is a dude to do when women are always killing the hottest trade?
