It’s going to confuse, and possibly offend, the suburban mom segment of Lifetime’s audience, and delight the ironic segment. (Hi, Lifetime.) It’s high camp, and whoever at the network green-lit it--assuming, of course, they were in on the joke--is brilliant.
If you strip the remake aspect of this project from your consciousness, it’s actually a pretty watchable film – as lesbian vampire movies go. Mother comes with solid direction from Melanie Aitkenhead and a tight script by Amber Coney.
The redo--in which Spelling plays the mom of a co-ed who’s fallen for a (gasp!) lesbian (double gasp!) vampire--is still solidly silly and spectacularly cheesy.
Overall Danger is a bit more fun than A Deadly Adoption, but it’s not nearly the subversive deconstruction that Lifetime probably hoped for when they hired Franco in the first place.
This is thin stuff and the only actor I'd definitively say is giving a "performance" is Meade. ... In its last third, the telefilm finally kicks into gear. That's when you get the blood-spurting, face-battering, knock-down-drag-out cemetery brawling vampire action that you want.
There’s comparatively little tension, action or dialogue in Mother, but there sure is a lot of girl-on-girl writhing.
This new version looks like Franco moved on to something else long before he finished it.
