Well this is a nasty piece of business!
The boys over at Bloody Disgusting got their hands on a clip from Darren Lynn Bousman’s upcoming MOTHER’S DAY remake, and if it’s indicative of the overall tone of the film, then we’re in for a mean ride.
In the clip, embedded below, we see Rebecca De Mornay’s bitter momma unleash some psychological hell on a few of her helpless captives… and then the abuse becomes physical. Looks raw and pitiless, so I’m in when the flick hits on APRIL 1st.
After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers head for home, hoping their MOTHER (Rebecca De Mornay) can provide them with a getaway. The youngest brother, JOHNNY (Matt O’Leary), has been shot, and their back-stabbing former partner has gotten away with all the cash.
But when the brothers get home, they find that all their stuff is gone and Mother is nowhere to be found: She lost the house months ago in a foreclosure. The new owners, BETH and DANIEL SOHAPI (Jaime King and Frank Grillo), and their guests, gathered for an ill-timed birthday party, become the brothers’ unwitting hostages.
Not long after, Mother arrives, along with the boys’ sister LYDIA (Deborah Ann Woll), and it soon becomes clear that Mother will do absolutely anything to protect her children. In one terrifying evening she brilliantly takes control of the situation and masterminds her sons’ escape from the law.
Sides will be taken, secrets revealed, and sins punished as the hostages struggle to make it through the night alive.
Watch the clip and then weigh in below with your first impressions!
