Mother's Day (1980)

In the heart of an unsuspecting woodland, where the rustling leaves whisper tales of a chilling horror, lies the sinister playground of a deranged family. Three college friends, reuniting after ten years to rekindle their bond, choose this very forest as their camping getaway, unaware of the lurking terror beneath its tranquil facade. It's no idyllic retreat - no "teddy bear picnic", but a maze ensnaring the innocent in a twisted game of life and death. These three women, stepping into what they believe is a sanctuary of solitude, find themselves in the clutches of a macabre matriarch and her two dim-witted sons. This unhinged trio, inspired by their perverse fascination with television's grimmest depictions of violence, take sadistic pleasure in abducting passersby to satiate their bloodlust. The women become unwilling pawns in this grotesque game, where the stakes are their very lives, and the rules are dictated by the whims of their captors. The story spirals into a grim dance between survival and insanity, where the women must outwit their captors, escape their woodland prison, and survive the cruel machinations of a Mother who finds delight in her sons' horrific acts. This isn't just a struggle for survival; it’s a battle against the darkest corners of human depravity. As the tension mounts, one question burns brighter - can anyone escape this forest alive, or will they fall victim to Mother's twisted pleasure?
