Mother's Day (2010)

Starring: Rebecca De Mornay, Jamie King, Shawn Ashmore
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman

Premise:
After a botched bank robbery, three brothers go to their mother's home only to find out it has been repossessed by the bank and bought by new owners, who are throwing a party. The brothers take the group hostage and call their mother for help.

My Take:
A very good remake. It takes the essence of the original movie and make a totally new one.
A fine cast, excellent direction, and good gore. What more can you ask for? This is an intense movie with a lot of twists and turns in it.

Rating: So Good
