Last week Darren Lynn Bousman was kind enough to take to his written blog for some rather encouraging MOTHER’S DAY check-ins, even going so far as to claim it the film he’s most proud of. Now that the film is firmly in post-production, Bousman upped the generosity with the release of some fresh stills from the film, and ya know what…them shites depict just enough gore-dappled hotties to get some serious blood boiling. See for yourself down under!
Recaptured from Charles Kaufman’s 1980 Troma title, MOTHER’S DAY gears up 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.
In addition to those mentioned above, the movie features Shawn Ashmore, Leslie Marcos, Patrick Flueger, Tony Nappo, Briana Evigan (below), Warren Kole, Lyriq Bent, Jessie Rusu, Alexa Vega and J. LaRose. Scott Milam (BEDLAM, THE SECRET) adapted the screenplay.
