So it looks like the first trailer (not the domestic one, its for the German release and was used at the AFM last year) for Darren Lynn Bousman’s harsh retelling of MOTHER’S DAY (READ ARROW’S REVIEW) has finally come in, and oh boy is the bastard a scorcher! Violent, intense, full of gory torture…this is exactly the kind of flick we all wanna take our mom’s to see this spring. Don’t believe me? Cop a look below!
Booked in theaters on April 1st, MOTHER’S DAY picks up:
After a bank robbery has gone wrong, and 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.
