" Brilliant black comedy. A horror comedy that pulled it off. Three college chums, all ladies, head to the woods for a reunion and step into a low-budget, female version of 'Deliverance.' A young Fred Coffin and 'Billy Ray McQuade' (he was one of Dudley Smith's sycophants in L.A. Confidential too) play a couple of backwoods cretins that torture, humiliate, and kill for their mama. The title was nothing more than an attempt to cash in on all the holiday based slasher flicks that were all the rage at the time.

Did anyone notice the subversiveness? The anti-consumerism message that sneaked in there years before the late great Bill Hicks was doing it. This movie won't go away. That's a good thing. It deserves to be as famous as Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street. If you find it, check it out.

" "Mother's Day" is great. It works as a horror film, as an exploitation film, and as a satire. It's definitely one of those movies that doesn't seem to have the ability or care to decide on whether it's feminist or misogynistic, but it is a sleazy horror movie and that's where the fanbase for this cult favorite lies. Still, I'm part of this film's following, and that means I like sleazy horror movies that are done right. So many lump things together in these black-and-white perspectives. If it's a sleazy horror movie, it seems that nothing good can be said about it unless it's an overrated bandwagon movie like "TCM". In this, we do have killer rednecks, but that doesn't make it a rip-off of "TCM". These people seem to have more in common with the guys from "Deliverance" than the guys in "TCM", and that's just one of the many differences. "
