Review of Parents (2007) by Shannon P — 08 Jul 2008

This truly strange B-movie about the nuclear family gone wrong in 1950s suburbia is a dark satire that 'takes a stab' at what the viewer considers to be 'normal.' It takes strong performances in front of the camera to hold a story like this together, and this cast delivers-- Randy Quaid perfectly embodies a stern and frightening father, and the truly brooding screen presence by unknown Bryan Madorsky as his troubled son is unique to say the least; all future horror-comedy film makers likely used "Parents" as a jumping off point into the darkness.
