Mum & Dad

About This Movie

Mum & Dad is a pretty unsettling slice of horror that creeps under your skin. Directed by Steven Sheil, it’s got this raw, gritty atmosphere that mirrors the bleakness of an airport setting. The film revolves around a really twisted family dynamic—Mum and Dad, along with their so-called 'adopted' kids, are scavengers of sorts, picking through the detritus of the airport life. There’s a real sense of dread as Lena, a Polish cleaner, gets pulled into their horrific world. The pacing might feel slow to some, but it builds tension in a way that’s almost suffocating. The performances are raw and believable, and the practical effects add that grimy realism. It’s a disturbing look at familial bonds, survival, and the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Darker themes surrounding family and survival.Strong practical effects that enhance the horror.Atmospheric pacing that builds tension throughout.
