Les Héritiers du Mal

Mother's Day (1980) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows three young ladies off on a camping trip. Little do they know a mother and her two boys live in the woods looking to torture and have their way with young ladies. Can they band together and survive their attackers or will they be their next victims?

This movie is directed by icon Charles Kaufman (Jakarta) and stars Tiana Pierce (The Concrete Jungle), Nancy Hendrickson (Boomers), Deborah Luce, Beatrice Pons (Car 54, Where Are You?), Robert Carnegie (Knight Rider) and Robert Collins (The Ref).

This is a movie that's horror element relies on the characters and circumstances more than gore and brutal kills. Most of the good kills are at the very beginning and very end. I will say the opening car scene is very well done and was probably my favorite scene in the movie. The cast delivers entertaining performances. The dialogue is hilarious and well written and the circumstances are random and fun. The mother and her two sons are perfectly depicted and the victims/torture scene had a "I Spit on Your Grave" feel to it. The opening party made me wish I was there. That had to be a fun scene to create.

Overall, this is far from perfect but an absolute must watch for horror enthusiasts. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
