Amateur movie with Big budget

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A Disappointing Continuation

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is so full of offensive stereotypes I don't know where to begin. You have the big fat overbearing Dad who's supposed to be scary just because he's a bully and likes to shout and use the 'f' word a lot. All he cares about is work and family. This is not the 1950s! Another sick, disturbing, poor excuse for a horror from the United Kingdom. They seem to think here in the UK that a good horror movie means deeply disturbing the viewer with horrific and gross scenes that do not entertain but leave a bad mark in your mind that stays with you for days.I wish I had never watched this cheap trash. It takes the whole horror theme of movies and gives it a really bad name. I don't know how people get the funding to produce such awful movies.

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.

I'm going to start this review by admitting that I'm about to give this film 7/10. I'm doing this now because I'm slightly ashamed to admit it.Basically, this film 'Mum and Dad' is pretty sick. I'm not sure what sort of person enjoys watching something like it, but, apparently, I'm it.A young cleaning girl at a British airport is lured home where she's held captive by 'Mum' and 'Dad' (obviously), plus their equally twisted offspring. If your mind is as twisted as mine, you can probably imagine some of the things that she witnesses and subsequently happens to her while she's shackled and chained. So, if you want to watch something like that then you should enjoy a film as brutal as this.It's made on a shoestring of a budget, but it doesn't really need many special effects to get its point across. It's one of the rare cases where a film really doesn't need a budget to make it any good.If you're in the mood for something sick, give it a go. Also, if you used to watch the happy-go-lucky BBC sit-com 'You Rang M'lud?' in the eighties, then you might remember the innocent and lovable 'Henry' from the show. Now watch him in Mum and Dad and you'll never be able to look at him the same way again.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

The grim & gritty atmosphere pervades this familiarly written story of madness and depravity. Writer / director Steven Sheil creates characters without much personality, telling a story that manages to be moderately creepy but never has much of a voice. It wraps itself up fairly quickly - it only runs 85 minutes - but Sheil generates little to no tension, which has to rate as one of the biggest problems. The movie is not going to be gory enough to suit many people, either. The acting is perfectly fine, if as colourless as the movie itself.Olga Fedori is featured as Lena, a Polish immigrant working on the janitorial staff at London's Heathrow airport. She makes the acquaintance of easygoing co-worker Birdie (Ainsley Howard), who offers her a place to stay when Lena misses the last bus that would have taken her home. However, soon after arriving at Birdie's place, Lena is knocked unconscious, and become the prisoner of Birdie's insane Mum and Dad (Dido Miles and Perry Benson). She's obliged to fill the role of "Mummy's Girl", warned that she had better learn her place in the household or suffer the consequences.When this short and sordid, intimate little tale is over, it unfortunately doesn't have a lot of resonance. It doesn't help that many of us have probably already seen similar movies over the years; "Mum & Dad" just doesn't bring much that's fresh to the party. It certainly isn't as shocking as one would like, even when Lena is exploring her environs and discovers the extent of the crimes of Mum & Dad. Fedori never does make Lena too likable a character; the one person who's more sympathetic is the unspeaking Elbie (Toby Alexander), another member of the adoptive "family".Sheil does cannily stress the nearness of the abode to the airport, filming planes in the air at every opportunity, but his ending is seriously underwhelming; again, a sense of deja vu dominates the proceedings.It's doubtful that even die hard genre lovers will find that much of value here.Five out of 10.
