Studio Canal have announced the Blu-Ray /DVD (UK/R2) details of ย Mother’s Day.

Loosely based on Charles Kaufmanโ€™s 1980 Troma classic,ย Motherโ€™s Dayย seesย Rebecca De Mornayย (Wedding Crashers; Lords Of Dogtown) heading a killer cast in a role that makes her psychotic character from โ€œThe Hand That Rocks The Cradleโ€ look like Mother Theresa.

Produced byย Brett Ratnerย (the Rush Hour trilogy; X-Men: The Last Stand; Red Dragon), directed byDarren Lynn Bousmanย (Saw II, III and IV) and starring De Mornay,ย Jaime Kingย (My Bloody Valentine; The Spirit),ย Deborah Ann Wollย (True Blood),ย Briana Eviganย (Burning Bright; Sorority Row; Step Up 2: The Streets) andย Shawn Ashmoreย (Frozen; Hatchet II; the X-Men trilogy), this nail-biting thriller has been described as โ€œintenseโ€ (Dread Central) and โ€œrelentlessly efficientโ€ฆ a cracking filmโ€ (Eye For Film).

Following a disastrous bank robbery attempt that leaves one of their number critically wounded, three brothers head for their childhood home to take refuge until the dust settles. What they donโ€™t know is their mother (De Mornay) recently lost possession of the house in a foreclosure and no longer lives there. Instead, they stumble across the new owners, a young couple, and their guests who are in the middle of birthday celebration. Seeing no alternative, the brothers take the partygoers hostage before contacting their mother to explain their dilemma. Willing to do anything to protect her offspring, mother arrives at the scene, along with her only daughter (Woll), and immediately takes control of the situation while masterminding a plan to help her family escape across the border from the US into Canada. Unfortunately for the hostages, motherโ€™s plot requires some serious funding and sheโ€™s determined to get hold of it any way she can. So begins a long night of psychological terror in which loyalties are tested, secrets are revealed and sins are punished by a deeply disturbed woman with maternal instincts that can only be described as murderous.

Co-starringย Lyriq Bentย (Saw II, III and IV),ย Kandyse McClureย (Battlestar Galactica),ย Patrick John Fluegerย (The 4400),ย Warren Koleย (24) andย Matt Oโ€™Learyย (Sorority Row; Die Hard 4),ย Motherโ€™s Dayย is both โ€œan intense, horrifying experienceโ€ (Alan Jones, Radio Times) and โ€œa gruesome pleasureโ€ (The Sun).
