Mother Buckner is the matron of the Zombie Redneck Torture Family. She and the rest of her family were summoned to kill Dana, Marty, Curt, Jules and Holden at the Cabin. She was portrayed by Maya Massar.

Physical Description and Attributes[]

Mother Buckner, like the rest of her family, is a living corpse. Her skin is rotted and her hair is unkempt, is kept in a messy bun and is grey in color. The pupils of her eyes have faded to a pale, milky color, but still retain a little of the greenish color she had when she was alive. She wears a long, 1800's style dress that is ragged and a greyish-green color. When she and her family were summoned to the Cabin, her weapon of choice was a long, double-handled saw blade.

Appearances[]

Mother Buckner and her family were the Monsters that were summoned to kill Dana, Marty, Curt, Jules and Holden at the Cabin, after Dana reads the Latin inscription from her daughter Patience's diary. Later, she, Father Buckner, Matthew Buckner and Judah Buckner stalk and attack Curt and Jules when they are making love in the forest. After Matthew and Judah restrain Jules, Mother Buckner appears and uses her saw to kill her; slicing open her abdomen and then decapitating her off-screen. Curt manages to escape the family's ambush and retreats back to the Cabin. When the remaining 4 teenagers retreat to their bedrooms, Mother Buckner attempts to force her way inside Dana's bedroom window by smashing her saw through the glass. However, Dana uses the tall dresser inside her room as a barricade. Mother Buckner was not seen at any point in the film after this scene.

Trivia[]

  • In the scene where she and her family are released to the Cabin, the burning coals that Father Buckner stuffed inside her stomach are still there and are still in fact glowing. Up close footage of Mother Buckner also shows the glowing coals in behind the scenes footage.
