Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Okay so basically the story is just flat! parents killing their kids and kids running from there parents and thats it! not once did I laugh, so I don't know why it's categorized under comedy... and it didn't have and ending it just sort of ended! so stupid! Nick cage must have been high filming this! The only cool part was the girl rigging the matches to the door so nick could catch on fire... but it still has you guessing if the kids noticed the gas or not...and then nick wasn't even burnt??? very sloppy movie no point to it!

For a movie with no hype and low expectations straight to dvd, I thought it was actually decent and kept my interest. Some good comedy mixed with a lot of "I'm gonna kill you". Give it a try.

I was absolutely floored by this film at every angle. The direction, the score, the sound engineering, the editing my GOD. An hour and a half-long heart attack about the anxiety of missing out, the burden of responsibility and the beastial depths to which the pressures of capitalism push the fantasies of people. Whereas the Crank films achieve their effect through a barrage of explicit imagery, Mom And Dad excels at delaying those gratifying moments by playing off the fact that you *know* its gonna get violent but you have no idea when or where. Absolute brilliance.

Never have I ever been a fan of Bryan Taylor's absolutely atrocious direction and this is definitely the last of all the chances I've given to his work. I saw the trailor and was temporarily sold on the idea and boy, when you witness this colossal mess unfold before your eyes, you know know you'll need all the nachos to digest these 83 minutes of your precious life which unfortunately you're never getting back. It's almost shameful that an idea as creative as parents going all ted bundy on their own children is wasted to such proportions. A sloppy mess with some of Taylor's convoluted signatures makes this movie absolutely passable. Watch at your own risk.
