ArchieIsCool Where do I start, basically Perry Benson and Dido play a sadistic couple who after stealing a boy and girl brainwash them into their way of living, as the two work at an airport they soon ensnare a poor girl as a new daughter for the couple, this poor girl is tortured by the sick woman by cutting her while the dad figure likes killing people and jerking off to their body parts yuck,! All you wish for is that the girl breaks free and kills them all, one failed attempt the dad stuffs her in a suitcase and beats her with a mallet engaging the 'son' to do it too. After she frees herself she does good and kills them all apart from the'son'. You just wanted her too get free and kill the sick family, a good film with sickening violence but worth a view, Perry Benson as the sadistic 'dad' is a must see.

Mamfafa This film is pure excellence!! Sheil does a brilliant job and grabbing your attention and keeping it right from the beginning, and he shocks over and over! The best performance comes from Perry Benson as 'Dad'. He manages to convey the screwed up, twisted personality of Dad without breaking a sweat! Dad really is the star of the movie, especially with his interesting sexual antics! The narrative of Mum & Dad is just genius! It's like the British real-life version of the Hewitt family from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Th difference is you can actually imagine that somewhere around Gatwick is a twisted family like this! The Mum & Dad sadistically 'adopt' teenagers to make into their children, yet then use them as slaves to aid their murderous and thieving lifestyle.The juxtaposition of the upbeat Christmas soundtrack really highlights the twisted actions of the family, especially for the big climax ending! This really draws you in as an audience, and makes you will protagonist kidnapped Lena on to escape! But can anyone escape from Mum and Dan?! Even their friends aren't safe! An absolute MUST see! Better than any other horror film out there! Britain at it's best!

BloedEnMelk Lena, a young Polish girl working as a cleaner at the airport, sort of befriends Birdy, a girl about the same age who can't seem to stop talking. When after work Lena misses her bus, Birdy and her silent brother Elbie invite Lena over to their house, which is right under the airport. A bit hesitant she takes the invitation and ends up in a family from hell.'Mum & Dad' is quite an awkward movie. The whole feeling is just plain weird. It reminded me of movies such as 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Rob Zombie's 'House of 1000 Corpses' and 'The People Under the Stairs'. It's brutal and there are (literally) body parts all around, but at the same time it's filled with dark humor. Not the kind of humor that lies thick on top of it, it never made me laugh out loud, but at the same time it's there, a lot. The Christmas scene for instance is unforgettable. The family really ís a family with it's own rules and values (a scene where the father tells the mother not to interfere with him disciplining the kids is a good example), it's just not something you can compare with normality. 'Mum & Dad' makes you cringe and grin at the same time.The characters were pretty well casted. Dad is a perfect pig and the thick accents they all had were really fitting. Is it a brilliant movie? Nah... not really. But for horror fans with a sense of humor it is absolutely worth watching. Just do not take it too seriously.

Paul Andrews Mum & Dad is set in London & starts as Polish immigrant Lena (Olga Fedori) start her new cleaning job at Heathrow airport, she is paired up with Birdie (Ainsley Howard) whose brother Elbie (Toby Alexander) also works there. After her shift Lena misses the last bus home & Birdie offers her a place to stay for the night, Lena agrees & goes back to Birdies house where she is knocked unconscious. Waking up Lena finds herself chained up on a dark room, she hears screams & sees body parts everywhere. A big man known as Dad (Perry Benson) & a slim woman known as Mum (Dido Miles) tell Lena that she now lives with them as part of their family, a sadistic family who murder & steal to survive & Lena must either accept her new family & become part of it or become one of Mum & Dad's victims...This British production was written & directed by Steven Sheil & according to him is a British take on the twisted family horror films from the US like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Wrong Turn (2003) but with a very quirky British feel to it, which you can't argue with to much once you have seen it I suppose. In fact Mum & Dad feels like a bizarre mix if The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & any old British sit-com that leers between being gross & unsettling one moment & darkly comic & funny the next. A big part of that is the script, from the larger than life Dad with his amusing accent & way of saying things that just make you either laugh or squirm, the Mom is a complete contrast as she is far more refined & sinister while I guess Biride was meant as some sort of twist allergy to the youth of today. Albie is silent throughout the film but seems like he is uncomfortable with his family's actions while Lena is kept high on drugs & tortured in order to turn her into a perfect daughter, like it would. Of course Mum & Dad is not prefect, it's fairly predictable & the low budget keep almost the entire film set within the confines of one semi detached house in London. There's little explanation of how the family got to the point they are, what do they do with the body parts? Why kill people anyway? Why chose Lena as a daughter? Mum & Dad is an enjoyably gross black comic horror that is well worth a watch but I would stop short of calling it great, it's good but not great.Another aspect of Mum & Dad that prevents it from becoming a classic is that relative lack of gore, despite the subject matter there's not that much gore & most of the violence is implied. There's a decapitated head, some body parts, some blood splatter, someone has a knitting needle stuck through their skin & not much else to be honest. The nastiest scene is probably the implied bit when Dad masturbates with a chunk of raw meat & when he puts it down there's a shot of his cum dribbling out of it. Set at the end of Heathrow airport the soundtrack to Mum & Dad is full of noisy air-planes taking off which I am sure was a deliberate to grate on your nerves & make the audience even more on edge & unsettled. The opening credits gave me a headache as it is just literally planes taking off or landing.Shot in seventeen days in London for £100,000 this actually looks really nice, it's well made & quite colourful although I suspect the low budget hampered the special effects which explains why there aren't any. The acting is very good with the entire cast bringing their character's to life with Mum, Dad & Birdie in particular.Mum & Dad is a low budget British twisted family horror thriller that maybe isn't as gory as some might have you believe but has a good script that balances gross out imagery with dark comedy really well. Not a classic or even a great film but a good solid one that's worth a watch.
