Mother's Day Reviews

Movie Reviews

• unfortunately, the filmmakers push for contrivances that could have been transplanted from the plot of just about every soap opera ever made

  by Chris Pandolfi [Yahoo! Voices ]

• they appear to be affluent, shallow, as well as blandly attractive, all in the poorly cast modern-horror-movie tradition

  by Chuck Bowen [Slant Magazine ]

• the title and some of the basic premise come from an old Troma flick, but De Mornay's brood's gory

  by Matt Singer [Time Out Chicago ]

• so creepy, so much happening under the cover or normalcy...just awesome

  by Don Sumner [Best Horror Movies ]

• sadistic tone Bousman takes in causing onscreen harm and zeroing in on punctured flesh

  by Robert Abele [Los Angeles Times ]

• represents a more efficient, state-of-the-art breed of splatter entertainment

  by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]

• it's not so-bad-it's-good. It's just bad

  by Josh Katz [Culture Mob ]

• in general, any scene that doesn't involve the quietly scary, evidently psychotic Mrs. Koffin represents screen time wasted

  by Charles Gant [Variety ]

• crisply shot and surprisingly well acted, "Mother's Day" suffers from an overly long script and annoying glitches in continuity

  by Jeannette Catsoulis [New York Times ]
