Mother's Day deserves its place in horror cinema history.
Even if it's a bad film... there are enough incidentals that aren't just good enough, but absolutely brilliant, that I can't help but want to give it a pass.
Blends unthinkably nasty horror elements with perverse comedy, intimate drama, and outrageously on-target satire without missing a beat.
Twisted, sick and wickedly humorous
Seems to have more on its mind than just a body count.
A bunch of nasty kill scenes in search of a plot (and scares).
