In this sequel to 1995's Mommy, "Mommy" (Patty McCormack), who had been convicted of murder and sentenced to death, escapes execution when she is wounded in a prison breakout attempt. While she is recovering, a physician convinces the courts that she would be able to live in a halfway house if she takes a violence-suppressing drug that he designed. Although her parole forbids contact with her daughter (who is now living with her sister and brother-in-law), she violates her parole by secretly visiting her one night. When people who are trying to keep her from seeing her daughter start turning up murdered, a local cop starts investigating her. ~ Brian Gusse, Rovi
Patty McCormack, so memorable as the evil, murderous little Rhoda Penmark in 1956's The Bad Seed, is outstanding in this unofficial "sequel" to that film. McCormack's "Mommy" is psychotically obsessed with her 12-year-old daughter Jessica Ann -- so much so that when she finds out Jessica didn't get the "Student of the Year" award again, she solves the problem by murdering the teacher who didn't recommend her for it. She dismisses the killing as inconsequential ("a minor accident"), but the homicide detective assigned to the case suspects her immediately, and an insurance investigator who also suspects her tries to get close to Jessica Ann to find out what really happened. ~ Brian Gusse, Rovi
