Movie Reviews of Mother's Day
Movie Review: Ghastly...But in what way? (Or does it really matter?)
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this movie when it came out in 1980 and remembered it as a very typical slasher of the day. Seeing it (and other films from back then) in 2008, I'm struck by how much has changed. Even the worst movies made today, with the worst actors, have standards far and away better than "Mother's Day." And yet, they're not really as good. Hmm...
"Mother's Day" is actually a bad movie with a lot of heart, so it's a lot of fun to watch, and maybe that's what really matters. Gather a bunch of friends, pop it in, and enjoy it for what it is... a ghastly (but enjoyable) flick about a ghastly family and three obnoxious sorority sisters who kinda-sorta deserve what happens, just because they're all so delightfully annoying. B++
Movie Review: Disturbingly horrific but oddly compelling
Summary: 3 Stars
This film has an almost documentary feel to it. The low budget only adds to the realism. It's in line with Texas Chainsaw Massacre as far as the gritty feel, realistic actors, and brutal scenes are concerned. It is not as good as Texas Chainsaw Massacre though. I revisit this every so often for reasons I am still unsure of. I wish a good widescreen version would come out, if it even exists in that format. Also, it may be 80s but it sure feels 70s. Check it out.Movie Review: Queenie
Summary: 3 Stars
Queenie is the one who stands out in this movie! Anyone who has seen this movie knows who I am talking about. Her performance (somewhere in the movie) was what left a lasting impression on me.Movie Review: Amusing For Its Time - Now Tame & Amateurish
Summary: 1 Stars
Troma was an interesting sideline cult film studio before the 1990's. They made Roger Corman seem like a major studio - and this was shocking and bizarre in its day but now, really - just an amateur production with camcorders. Now that people can shoot and edit masterpieces with special effects using a $600 Mac, this is pretty much a yawner. And after the snuff porn of the last few years, this is a walk in the park with a lab puppy if you're talkinga bout its shock value (and that's presuming you never saw any Italian horror movies or American grindhouse films of the 1970's)... and the worst sin of all, for a camp movie about kidnapping young women, there's no nudity. So, if you've lead a sheltered life and have seen only just THE SOUND OF MUSIC, this movie might shock you but otherwise, it's not very good, its camp value is nil, there's no nudity and it's not scary. It's only interesting in a historical context for film buffs.
Plus, one more annoying thing. There is a tedious 5-minute intro by the head of Troma who likes to hear himself talk and of course, none of his employees will tell him he's not funny nor interesting ... AND of course, you cannot fast forward or skip through it. Just another reason to skip it.
Movie Review: this film's an old bag..just like mother
Summary: 1 Stars
This was one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen.It's about a twisted family of 2 psychos and their deranged mother..thats it!,,there is 3 girls who are captured by the.
Well lets call them the TWISTO BROS. They torture rape and kill while mommy watches. One good scene in the movie when this hippie
schmuk gets his head lopped off in the car.
Otherwise it's an unimaginative movie, special effects [stink],if you want there's a stupid scene where the girls get revenge
when TWISTO BRO #1 gets some Drano and a TV jammed on his head..sheesh what schlok! forget this clunker
