Product Description

Product Description

Mum & Dad, the impressive debut feature by writer-director Steven Sheil, is one of the most disturbing Brit-shockers to emerge in recent years.
 
When Lena, a young Polish immigrant working as an office cleaner at Heathrow Airport, misses her last bus home, she accepts an offer of help from friendly co-worker Birdie, who lives nearby with her ‘adoptive’ parents.
 
Knocked unconscious after arriving at the house, Lena soon finds herself imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors, a living nightmare of abuse & torture. Designated a 'Mummy's Girl', Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family - and join Mum and Dad in their insanity - or die.

I watched this horror movie today and the film is good right from the start. Its about a young polish girl who is kidnapped and taken hostage by a psychotic family. The storyline could be compared to a British version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The acting was excellent and it was very believeable. My only criticism is the film could have been longer and things seemed to come to a head quite quickly near the end of the film. However, this film is well worth a look if you like horror movie's.

my dad ironically, told me this film was rubbish. I think he may have been watching a different film though because I thought it was pretty good. With a great performance from the polish girl who actually react to her situation the way you imagine a normal person would. Infact I don't recall her falling on the floor and crawling around once.

I'm not so sure however about the overall story line, whilst it was original I can not see why the other two 'children' would not have escaped given they went out to work each day.

Other than that it was good viewing and has a few sick scenes for those that like that sort of thing.

Yes, this is extremely uncomfortable viewing at times but it is a superb example of what can be achieved with a tiny budget and a small window for production and filming. The story of a Polish girl lured back into the family from hell, it is full of black humour and sadistic moments. The relationships between the existing family are very unsettling and the new "daughter" upsets the apple cart and, in turn, somewhat upsets theirs. It is the setting, the acting and the truly surreal moments which make it stand out from others of its type. I guess some would argue that the violence (and there is nowhere near as much as in films like "Saw" and "Hostel") is gratuitous but it is not a blood bath type of film, more of a sadistic and deeply unpleasant one. These sort of films are so difficult to rate. Give it a 4 or a 5 and say "excellent" and you wonder if you are quite right in the head to think something so uncomfortable to watch is good. Those who find anything of this sort disgusting probably think we're sick (and one wonders why they even pick up the DVD). We're not. Horror should be done like this. If you like unusual horror films then this is a must-see.

"Mum and Dad" is a United Kingdom take on sadistic families such as those in the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [1974] or The Firefly family of House of 1,000 Corpses [2003] ] fame.

The story is that of a young Polish girl working at an airport, who is lured to the home of a co-worker where she is then enslaved for torture and mutilation by a perverse and psychopathic cannibal family.

However as it's set in England, there are no guns, and it's grittier for it; not least because a female Polish immigrant worker was abducted and then murdered in Scotland in similar circumstances not that long ago, and of course it throws up the none-too-distant shadows of English serial killers Fred and Rosemary West and their home dungeon.

Olga Fedori plays the Polish girl Lena very well, initially capturing the polite, friendly yet slightly nervous manners of a foreigner trying to fit in without causing offence and yet at the same time remaining cautious. It's this caution that means she has to be tricked so that she misses the last bus, and has no option but to accompany her co-worker, the "Daughter", back to her home ... and into the clutches of Mum and Dad.

Dad gets his kicks from chopping things up, Mum gets hers from playing with it first, and the children assist them with their perversions in order to stay in their good books, gain favours, or at least to avoid punishment.

Watched this without knowing anything about it. As a huge fan of the horror genre, I am used to disappointment and lacklustre offerings.
This is an outrageously good horror film; it centres around a 'family' who kidnap and torture a young Polish imigrant. Whereas there are elements of graphic violence, there is so much more to this film that is unsaid and understated, making it an absolute masterpiece. A film of ideas which places horror back in the everyday and the common place, a context which is so much more satisfying than glossy high budget remakes.
If you have even a passing interest in horror, or have the stomach to take such material, this is a beautiful crafted and sensitively made film that trawls the darkest of places. It's brilliant to see British horror back on the map. A must see.

Imagine if Mike Leigh and Tobe Hooper got drunk one night, fooled around and had a love child, then this new movie by director Steven Sheil would surely be the ghastly outcome. Shot like a kitchen sink drama but with the mean spirited nature that is prevalent in the horror genre at the moment - ''Mum and Dad'' is one sick puppy that like others who venture down this road, fails in comparison to the 70s homegrown horror big hitters like ''Texas Chainsaw'' and ''Halloween'' which it is so desperately trying to emulate.

The story has Lena (played well by Olga Fedori), a young polish cleaner working the nightshift at an airport in London. There, she unwittingly befriends brother and sister duo Birdie and Elbie. Enticing Lena back to their home, she is then tortured for the rest of the movie by the pseudo siblings' monsterous parentage, the mum and dad of the title.

Essaying 'Dad' is 1980s British comedy actor and Shane Meadows regular Perry Benson. His portrayal is ugly and off putting, and a million miles away from his comedic roles such as 'You Rang M'Lord'. 'Mum' played by Dido Miles, is another abomination and her deviant nature is depicted in graphic detail.

Across the board, the movie is well acted and observed in a usual british, gritty reality. Sheils' direction is paced well and he has an eye for the bizarre, however his screenplay is nothing more than what you have already seen before in other movies of this ilk which have used their obvious budgetary limitations to a much better use. The film does feel in parts like an overlong episode of the UK TV series 'The Royal Family' if uncle leatherface came to stay.
