Mum & Dad
Dir: Steven Sheil
2008
***
Mum & Dad is a nasty and disturbing idea, brought to life quite impressively but it lacks a certain credibility. It's like a clean cut 70's Exploitation film but just 40 years too late, if it feels like a copy rather than something that has been 'influenced by'. This might be the future of horror but it needs to be more convincing, otherwise it's a little too much to stomach and the humour elements just don't work. Still, I have to give this film credit, it packs a punch and shouldn't go unnoticed and I have a real soft spot for Perry Benson.
