MOTHER'S DAY is a 1980 US horror film about three women who go camping in the woods where they are terrorised by two adult brothers and their mother.
- Violence
There are several scenes of violence. A man is decapitated and characters are beaten, strangled and suffocated, often in prolonged fashion. In one scene, a woman slams an axe into a man's crotch and blood flows from the wound. There is also a scene in which caustic soda is poured into a man's mouth, causing him to froth at the mouth. In another scene, a rope cuts deeply into a woman's heavily bloodied hands as she lowers another woman to the ground.
There is also a scene of sexual violence in which a woman's breasts are briefly exposed before a man thrusts into her.
There are scenes in which cocaine is snorted and where marijuana is smoked. There is also some male and female nudity, strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') and some milder terms including 'bitch', 'whoring', 'slut', 'son of a bitch', 'bastards', 'asshole', 'shitting', 'Jesus', 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
