Mum & Dad (2008)
10/10
Brilliantly creepy
28 December 2008
One of the darkest, yet blackly comical films I've ever seen. The entire cast and crew should be proud of their envelope-pushing achievement in horror. Perry Benson's domineeringly mad performance rivals the intensity with which Bob Hoskins portrayed Harold Shand in the much hailed gangster flick, The Long Good Friday. Dido Miles and Ainsley Howard were terrifically evil in their own exceptional ways.

Despite the gore-fest, there's a strong message here of how the indomitable human spirit, even when caught in a most vicious trap, can somehow manage to rise above one of the most sorrowful plight's imaginable.
