Synopsis

Can you imagine a parallel universe in which parents attack their children violently and for no reason? For this reality has reached our plane. Apparently, a mysterious epidemic of unknown origin has taken over all adults and has since cause wide-spread madness. Carly (Anne Winters) and Joshua (Zackary Arthur) are two children who are tasked with trying to survive the seemingly long day all while fleeing those who once were their loving and caring parents: Brent Ryan (Nicolas Cage) and Kendall Ryan (Selma Blair). The film is directed and written by Brian Taylor ('Ghost Rider: Spirit of Revenge', 'Gamer', 'Crank - High Voltage'). Just what has caused the outrage amongst the parents? Will Carly and Joshua ever survive the day to find out?

  • 8.0 VarietyDennis Harvey 'Mom and Dad' isn?t the kind of movie they give acting awards to ?but in a just world, it would be. Read
  • 8.0 Screen CrushMatt Singer I would gladly watch a whole series of movies where these two actors delight in trying to murder children. Read
  • 6.0 The GuardianBenjamin Lee There?s a regrettably abrupt ending which feels rather like a cop-out but the infanticidal imagery will linger, whether you like it or not. Read
