Mother’s Day
Talk about pedigree: this controversial cult horror film was directed by Lloyd Kaufman’s brother and was remade this year by THF Guru Darren Bousman–who decodes the original and why he wanted to reimagine it. Criticized in 1980 for its misogyny and violence, writer-director Charles Kaufman claimed it was satirical, but subsequent reissues were shorn of some of the most egregious scenes of rape and mayhem.
