Synopsis

Mother's Day (1980) is a cult American horror film from Troma you can watch online on iFILM. Three college friends reunite a decade after graduation for a weekend in the woods, only to be taken in by a kindly old woman who offers them a bed for the night.

The old woman has two grown sons living with her, and it doesn't take long to learn how she raised them: the family's favorite pastime is brutalizing strangers for her amusement. A friendly invitation curdles into a fight for survival, and the three women stop being prey and start planning payback.

Director Charles Kaufman — brother of Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman — delivers the studio's signature blend of cheap shocks, pitch-black comedy and a grimy revenge finale. The movie long ago became an exploitation-cinema staple and a touchstone of the rape-revenge subgenre. Not for the squeamish, but a genuine find for fans of grubby 80s trash.
