0/4
A home-invasion film like Mother's Day is elongated coitus interruptus. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times May 3, 2012
2/5
Stuffed with secrets and characters who can't wait to betray one another, the film offers no one to root for except Mother, whose perverted family values at least remain consistent. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times May 3, 2012
2/5
The ready crackle of [De Mornay's] studiously demonic performance brings welcome distraction from this otherwise crude litany of torture and wretched death. Go to Full Review

3/5
The gruesome special effects are truly upsetting, while De Mornay elevated what could have been an otherwise entirely forgettable experience. Go to Full Review

Rebecca De Mornay keeps this conventional horror remake alive and kicking with her fierce and terrifying performance. Go to Full Review
Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Mar 31, 2020
I can only really recommend Mother's Day to major horror/thriller fans or anyone who loves the idea of seeing De Mornay knock a comeback role out of the park. Go to Full Review

Jan 7, 2018 Really good movie, very intense.
Luke M Oct 7, 2017 Very well thought out plot! Let me just save you the time. Everyone dies
Poe W Nov 9, 2010 From the Director of Saw 2, 3, & 4 comes an even scarier film, a story that is not only brutal, but also entirely possible. Three recently released prisoners are back to their old tricks, as they have just robbed a bank and escaped a shoot out with the police. With no where else to go, they flee to a familiar place, their mother's house, only while they were away, she lost that house to the bank and it had been re-sold. The trio stumbles right into the new owners house warming party and quickly take them as hostages. These boys are brutal, but they aren't very smart, not knowing what the next step is, they do they only thing they can think of and call their dear old mother for advice. Mother's Day is your typical film about hostages held at bay, trying to escape the brutal hold of their captors, with one exception, Rebecca De Mornay, a veteran actress of these types of films. De Mornay's is the one who raised these monsters, but she's also the voice of reason, with a cool calm demeanor, that will send a chill down your spine. Her performance in this film is what takes a simple hostage film and turns it into something deeper, darker, and more sinister. Of course a film like this isn't without it's flaws, as it is extremely predictable. They throw in all the things you would expect to see in a film about a hostage situation, and outside of the named actors you recognize, the rest of the cast, wasn't very good. That being said, I really enjoyed the triple dynamic between mother, psychopathic children, and the hostages, aside from that, this film was pretty much forgettable. See more
