[Once
again I'm going to attempt to do a horror(ish) movie review a day for
the entire month of October. I've done this the last few years on The
Cleveland Movie Blog. Most of the time I succeeded (usually with the
help of a few other writers). Other times I didn't. We'll see if I can
pull it off this year.]
A black comedy in which parents are inexplicably overcome
with the intense urge to kill their children is a premise that will likely be a
deal breaker for many right off the bat. Me, I’ve seen enough movies where the
shoe was on the other foot and kids were trying to off the adults that I figure
turnabout is fair play. It’s not the idea, it’s the execution.
Well, after sitting through MOM AND DAD, I’m here to tell you the execution isn’t anything to
write home about.
