Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine 3D), Briana Evigan and Alexa Vega will join Deborah Ann Woll in Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of Mother's Day. The director announced via Twitter this evening that Shawn Ashmore has also been cast. King, he says, will play "Beth."

This is Bousman's second collaboration with Vega after she starred in his horror rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. Evigan, who will be seen next month in Sorority Row, starred in Bousman's Fear Itself episode "New Year's Day."

Mother's Day, a remake of the '80s Troma production, concerns a villainous family return to the house where they grew up and terrorize the new owners and their guests.

The original premise of Mother's Day was not a family returning to a home that they grew up in. The rednecks that lived in the woods kidnapped three women that knew one another from college. They were on their annual reunion, camping in the woods when they were taken to the redneck's home. They tortured the women under the supervision of their deranged mother.

I wonder if the folks behind this soon-to-film "remake" actually saw the original film,for the original was chock full of vile and nasty things and imagery(such as rape,beatings,tortures,and gory slayings)that horrified film critics and traditional horror fans but yet happily delighted grindhouse cinema fans of that very era(as well as what Nancy fully depicted about the original film's plot),for this one sounds like another epic full of cute chicks meeting ketchupy demises(ala the "BLACK CHRISMAS remake and the upcoming SORORITY ROW)instead of a film that contained a cool subplot two psycho brothers loudly debating about the values of punk and disco(one element which gave the orignal film its appeal).
