Review of Mother's Day (1980) by Richard C — 16 Nov 2010
Mother's Day is, I think, my second Troma film, and more and more am I realizing that Troma is about independce and sleaze. It concentrates on one concept and hops to the next one as if with a mind of its own.
The opening, for example, is a jolting start to a real fucked up story, but then, it's about the firendship of women, but no, it's next about an irritating deranged family of kidnappers, etc. It was like channel surfing for me, but what's good is that only one portion dragged on - the rest were acceptable.
As is usual, laughable props, and atrocious acting are present as the Troma trademarks of priceless cheapness. I wonder if this is perchance a partial inspiration to the Descent. Oh, and if you don't like Troma and what it stands for, this film is getting a high caliber remake, or so it seems, so you can view this movie with decent production.
