We are just days away from Mother’s Day, so what better time to announce that the 1980 Troma movie Mother’s Day is getting re-made. According to Variety, Darren Lynn Bousmanm who directed three of the Saw movies will be directing the new version of the movie that left an impression on him when he saw it as a kid. He added, “It’s a wild, crazy, insane, macabre ride, and that’s what’s so exciting about this project.” While I think he might be able to do the remake justice, I just don’t think the movie needs or should be remade.
So now that they have or are remaking another holiday centric horror movie classic like Friday the 13th, Halloween, My Bloody Valentine, April Fool’s Day (my birthday) and Mother’s Day, which holiday would you like to see get the horror treatment next? Eli Roth just claimed Thanksgiving, so that is off the market for 20 years…until someone decides to remake his movie.
