Deborah Ann Woll, who plays teen vampire Jessica Hamby on HBO’s “True Blood,” has flowers ready for “Mother’s Day,” a remake of the 1980 cult horror.

The original film, from legendary genre specialist Troma Entertainment, revolved around three female friends who, while camping, run afoul of two brothers who engage in murder and rape to impress their deranged mother.

The remake sees the villainous family, slightly expanded to include a daughter (Woll), return to the house where they grew up and terrorize the new owners and their guests.

It will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who shot three of the “Saw” movies. The producers are eyeing a spring release timed for Mother’s Day with a shoot to begin in the fall in Manitoba
