'Mum & Dad' THE Talk of Frightfest UK
Thursday, August 28, 2008

This year's Frightfest UK has come and gone, and what came of it (besides a flurry of talk about some short intros created by Adam Green and Joe Lynch) was that the next big thing is a film called Mum & Dad, which we first told you about here. Various sources tells us that the talk of the massive UK film festival was Steven Sheil's film, which is said to be fantastic. Inside we've got a look at the poster for the film, or you can click the title for stills and a trailer.

Mum and Dad, and their 'adopted' children, Birdie & Elbie, work at the airport. The family live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices and hotels - including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport's soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a 'Mummy's Girl', Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family - and join them in their insanity - or die.

I went to Frightfest and watched Mum & Dad and me and my mate thought it was a real letdown, it didn't go anywhere and was very boring, I was looking forward to it but it was rubbish and over hyped, the best film at Frightfest was Trailer Park Of Terror, it was amazing.

I saw something about this on film four and it looked pretty interesting, it looked like a different take on the crazy family films that are so common nowadays

I want to see it too. But couldn't they have picked a better name? It's hard to call up your buddies up and say "how would you guys like to watch this film called Mum and Dad?"

Me and my brother heard two guys behind us at FrightFest talking about how average MUM AND DAD was. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN was easily the best film of the festival - people didn't stop clapping afterwards for ages! And MARTYRS had people throwing up outside, easily the most violent, brutal movie I've ever seen. I really can't see how it will get a release uncut... But MUM AND DAD being THE talk of the festival? Definitely not.

Saw Mum & Dad at the Edinburgh Film Festival a few mths back - it's good but not great. far from it. Let the Right One In, now that's a movie!

It was indeed one of the lesser shining lights of Frightfest, brave and inventive and standing out due to the generic nature of a lot of the films on offer. It was quite depressing in its setting and tone but the characters really became fleshed out and the claustraphobia of the situation made it very effective. Very effective, but requiring some attention span to really make the most out of it's multi-dimensional leads (not something demanded of us by many horrors). It was, however, buried totally by the dazzlingly refreshing and emotive 'Let The Right One In'.
