Mom and Dad

Even for a horror-black comedy the violence was waay over the top, and as an adult, if you are ok with that, then that’s fine, enjoy. There were parts I liked as an adult. But this is not a movie kids or teens should see at all. There is a review on here saying a parent let their 13 year old and 7 year old watch this and said it was “fine”. Here are some thing in this movie which happen with realistic blood, gore and real looking pain and agony: A terrified girl is suffocated by her father with a plastic bag, a drunk father smashes a bottle and attempts to kill his son, but accidentally cuts his own neck wide open with the jagged glass, a mother gives birth to a newborn then attempts to crush then cut the newborn with a scalpel (pretty sickening to see even as an adult), a boy gets wire pierced through his cheek and is dragged around by it, the parents laugh while filling a small room with their kids in with gas, laughing about how they’ll vomit and cough and die soon, a grandpa is thrown out of a car, his head crushing vividly into gore. The terror of the young boy and teen girl through all this would scare kids. People are stabbed, burned, bitten, slashed, shot, beaten, a child drowned by their parent, and there is no resolution to the movie. When it ends many people are dead, and the parents still want to kill the kids. As an adult the final lines are a vaguely clever(ish) play on typical parent-teen dialogue so I guess you can appreciate that. As a kid or teen waiting for some happy or even vaguely resolved ending, it never comes. Guaranteed nightmares and trauma for kids and yes, even young teens. Because it’s not just sickening violence, it’s all acted out by the parents on kids of all ages. Please just be normal and show your kids movies aimed at their age group! There are heaps of fun, action filled, (even scary if they want that) movies that are actually for kids.
