Slant Magazine

A home-invasion film like Mother's Day is elongated coitus interruptus.

Rated: 0/4

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

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.

Rated: 2/5

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

The ready crackle of [De Mornay's] studiously demonic performance brings welcome distraction from this otherwise crude litany of torture and wretched death.

Rated: 2/5

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

The gruesome special effects are truly upsetting, while De Mornay elevated what could have been an otherwise entirely forgettable experience.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Sight

Rebecca De Mornay keeps this conventional horror remake alive and kicking with her fierce and terrifying performance.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Certaines scènes sont sympas mais franchement j'attendais plus de gore de la part de Darren Lynn Bousman et le jeu de certains acteurs est franchement parfois ridicule.

“Mother’s Day” is an insane movie and for the most part delivers. But I question some of the story parts. There were plenty of times the characters could have taken out the villains but didn’t.

I enjoyed it. Rebecca really played the Crazy Mom well. I'll never forget her in Risky Business(lol), so it's cool to see her in these types of roles. Was it perfect, no, but Definitely worth a watch
