Mother's Day is an upcoming American horror
- thriller film directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
. It is a remake
of Charles Kaufman's 1980 film of the same name and was written by Scott Millam.
After a bank robbery has gone wrong, three brothers, Izzak "Ike" (Patrick Flueger
), Addley (Warren Kole), and Johnny (Matt O'Leary
) are on the run from the law. The three brothers travel to their mothers house, however find it occupied by young couple Beth (Jaime King
) and Daniel (Frank Grillo
), who are hosting a birthday party in their basement. The guests include Anette (Briana Evigan
) and her fiance Dave (Tony Nappo
), married couple Treshawn (Lyriq Bent
) and Gina (Kandyse McClure
), George (Shawn Ashmore
) and Melissa (Jessie Rusu) and Julie (Lisa Marcos
). As the three brothers enter the house, the partiers are watching a storm warning of a tornado that is soon to hit, however Daniel reassures everyone that the basement is secure. He then heads upstairs where he encounters the brothers who think Daniel is trespassing in their mothers home. He tells them they got the house months previous in a foreclosure
. While the brothers begin to beat Daniel, Beth comes upstairs but is unable to escape. The brothers threaten to shoot the couple, however Beth informs them that George is a doctor and he will be able to help the dying Johnny. Beth calmly summons George upstairs since she does not want to alarm the other guests. After Ike and Addley refuse to take Johnny to the hospital, George begins to try and save Johnny. Meanwhile, Ike receives a phone call from his sister Lydia (Deborah Ann Woll
) who is with the siblings "Mother" (Rebecca De Mornay
). Ike tells the pair to come to the house.
Julie soon emerges from the basement but is chased back downstairs by Addley who holds the guests hostage, removing the groups cell phones and wallets and begins to torment them. Soon after, Mother and Lydia arrive. Mother is extremely unhappy with her sons after they failed to successfully keep in contact with her, so she was unable to tell them she lost her home. She angrily tells off her sons and proceeds to be nice to the hostages, telling them no one has to get hurt and the family would leave once Johnny's condition has stabilized. However, Mother soon discovers that the sons had continued sending money to the house after she had moved out, meaning Beth and Daniel must have received it. Both deny knowing about the money, but Mother does not believe Daniel and has his hand broken by her sons. Despite this, Daniel still denies knowing. Mother proceeds to rob the hostages, taking their credit cards and pin numbers. Melissa attempts to escape by running upstairs, however she is shot by Addley.
Beth is taken by Ike to the Bank with the groups' credit cards. On their way, Ike disposes of Melissa's body behind a dumpster. At the ATM, two young women, Vicky (A. J. Cook
) and Jenna (Alexa Vega
) intrude on the situation. Ike gives them a knife and forces them to either kill the other one or they both die. Jenna murders Vicky, however Ike shoots her after she kills Vicky. Back at the house, George continues to try and save Johnny, while the group begin to fight over how to survive. Meanwhile, Melissa is discovered to be alive by garbage men before being rushed to hospital.
George attempts to try and turn Lydia against the rest of her family, while the family find out that the cops are searching for the brothers. A cop soon arrives at the house, but Daniel sends him away to protect Beth and his friends from the family. As the group begin to turn against one another, Treshawn is forced to let Ike steal from the safe at his workplace. While there, Beth attempts to escape but fails. Back at the house, Mother discovers Beth and Daniel's only son had died in a car accident and it's revealed Daniel is having an affair with Julie. A dying Johnny wishes to be with one of the women. After Julie is rejected, Treshawn and Dave are made to fight each other to protect their lover. Dave loses, causing Anette to be taken upstairs where she is forced to strip for Johnny, however his injuries are too bad and she is taken back down to the basement where a fight breaks out, resulting in Dave being shot in the face by Addley. Gina escapes out of the basement doors but is knocked out and brought back by Daniel who is forced by Mother to keep Beth safe.
While returning to the house, Ike shoots a police officer; however, the police officer does not die. He makes Beth run over the man, but instead she causes the car to crash. Before she can escape, Ike shoots the officer. When Gina awakes, she finds the rest of the guests tied up. Under the influence of Mother, Addley pours boiling water into Treshawn's eardrums to punish Gina. Mother precedes to try and find out where the money is hidden from Daniel by burning his deceased son's stuff. When Daniel does not confess, Mother sets fire to Julie's hair; however she soon puts it out when Daniel fails to confess. At the hospital, Melissa is operated on before sending help to the house.
Mother finds the money hidden behind a painting, and summons Addley to fetch Daniel from the basement. Meanwhile, Gina manages to free herself and the others. They attack Addley and manage to kill him. Treshawn takes his gun and goes upstairs, Gina following him. Treshawn is startled and accidentally shoots Gina before he is shot by Mother, who precedes to force Beth to listen to her shooting Daniel.
Ike and Beth return to the house with the money. Ike, Lydia, and George take the wounded Johnny into their mother's RV where Johnny shoots George. Meanwhile, Mother discovers Beth was hiding the money to start up a new life elsewhere, away from her cheating husband, as she is pregnant. Mother makes Beth prove her pregnancy. After doing so, Beth manages to knock out Mother and free Anette and Julie. Anette and Beth escape into the garage, but Julie runs into Ike who shoots her in the head. Ike then attacks Anette and Beth, but the pair overpower him and manage to kill him. Anette escapes to the neighbor's house while Beth fights with Mother, who knocks Beth out. Mother sets fire to the house, but Beth wakes up and knocks out Mother, before meeting with Anette as firemen arrive. As the house burns, the firemen find Gina alive.
Months later, Beth is rushed to hospital by Anette, Gina, and Melissa to have her baby. She later awakens in the hospital only to find her baby stolen. It is then revealed that Mother was the one who stole her baby before leaving the country with Lydia and Johnny.
