i was once again on my annual run of finding underrated slashers from the 1980s and stumbled across this one that was titled mother’s day and i know where nowhere close to mother’s day but while reading the synopsis for the film it did catch my interest and so i gave in and watched it and after finishing it i’ve got to say that this one just became one of my new favorites like sure the story in it wasn’t anything new being brought to the table because we’ve seen countless of slasher films with the crazy backwoods family premise be done many of times and im always one to eat them up every single time so there wasn’t any complaints from me there and when it comes to slashers from back then they tended to always have such unlikeable characters in them to the point it had you just wanting to see the killers succeed but that was certainly not the case in this film because each of the 3 main girls in this one were written to be characters that you feel sympathetic towards and once they get themselves into danger with the family you just want to see them come out on top and end that mess of a fucking family which they did just exactly that because the girls immediately locked in and killed each of the family in such a gruesome manner which has got to be one of my favorite parts of the film because the girls did it in such a badass way that it just made the love i already had for these characters grow even more after seeing them put up such a fight against their captors and for that the final girl duo in this film just climbed my list of favorite final girls in horror media.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

You too can celebrate that special lady in your life by watching this traumatic tromatic ode to a mamma's love. Ruth Ross is Mom, doing her best to raise two backwards backwoods brothers Ike and Addley. Sure they have the occasional lapse into homicide, torture and assault, but boys will be boys, and Momma makes sure to focus on the positives, providing fine helpings of liver, daily exercise and even some culture in the form of the ever present blaring TV set.

Directed by (brother of Lloyd) Charles Kaufman collaborating on the script with Warren Leight who would later become a mainstay of the Dick Wolf Law & Order franchise, this is one perverted piece of fuckery. At it's best it is a Texas Chainsaw Massacre of the reaganomics era, with set design that focuses not on the macabre ritualistic totems of leatherface, but pop cultural ephemera given a grime infested coating of delirium.

At it's worse, it's goofball schlock, but despite plenty of nasty edges there is a comedic energy present within the familial trio that makes this worth a watch.

And perhaps the greatest ever instance of product placement through the use of Draino in a very memorable scene.
