Mother's Day (1980)
6/10
Not for the Squeamish or Faint Hearted
30 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Too bad there wasn't a sequel to explain some unanswered questions about the end of the film. It is about three college roommates who reunite for an annual trip. This year, Diana selects a camping trip to the Deep Barrens. The signs are there about entering at your own risk. Even the general store owner gave a warning. They drive to the Deep Barrens which is in northwest New Jersey. The first night goes without incident. The next day begins the nightmare as the three women are kidnapped by two deranged brothers who bring them home to mother. Beatrice Pons played the mother brilliantly. The disturbing scenes with Diana are not for the squeamish or the faint hearted. But I think they're tame by today's standards. For an independent horror movie, it is not bad. The cast aren't well known except for Pons. There are disturbing scenes in the movie so I would warn anyone that it can be difficult to watch.
