Review of Mother's Day (1980) by Jen B — 11 Jan 2011
Equally stupid and awesome, illogical and hilarious, it's like Kaufman (not to be confused with the director of Synecdoche, NY) has a schitzo sense of how to do a horror movie and/or a comedy, and sometimes it totally clicks and we're with the characters, and other times it just doesn't make much sense (for example, one of the hicks is a cop.
.. huh?) It does have a killer (pun intended) last five minutes though... that is if you cut out the very last shot of the movie. It's a cut above other Troma fare, and certainly as far as girl-revenge horror flicks go I'd eagerly put this in someone's hands before I Spit on Your Grave.
But it's not something right at the top of your radar.
