you'll never want to eat meat again.
set in the 1950's suburbia, think of
"the 'burbs" on acid and you'll get
the idea of what you are in for.

This dark comedy has to be the most bizarre cult classic ever and the weird part was it was set in the 1950s and it was a black comedy about a kid who discovers his parents are cannibals and he notices because all they eat for dinner is meat and that night's leftovers and plus he has nightmares about them.There isn't too much violence or gore or special effects instead actor turned director Bob Balaban focuses on suspense and make the viewer figure out the scenes plus the music(The man that did the Twin Peaks music composed this)makes the scenes eerie.This bizarre movie has weird scenes like the boy goes into the kitchen and sees an arm in the sink and blood spilling from the top of the fridge and another scene were the boy sees a leg on a meathook in the basement.Rent or watch this one on TV(Showtime and TNT show it) but do not buy till you see it.

I happened upon this movie, as did some others, late at night. I too was morbidly fascinated. I particularly identified with the helplessness of the little boy. The movie was not needlessly gory, as horror movies go. Rather, the psychological tension was more horrifying. The depictions of the preparation and serving of meat were enough to cause one to think about the barbarism of eating all animals! The set dresser deserves high praise for the authenticity of the 50's decor and customs. I am not a particular fan of horror movies, but this one was "deliciously" engaging.

Bizarre film takes place in the 50's and is the story of a boy who wonders where his parents get all their leftover meat from and what it was before it was leftovers...and soon he discovers the terrible (but obvious) truth. "Parents" could have been a nice little horror/comedy like "House," but turned out to be more of a weirdo, bizarro, psycho film that is just too weird to be excepted as proper entertainment. The 50's was portrayed in the most horrific and lurid manner, and the way of life was just heartbreaking (ie. the little girl that Michael befriends). I was looking forward to a fun little horror/comedy, but was disappointed when I found it was a weirdo, bizarro, psycho film (hehe). It's alright, but I don't think it's really that special. Too weird for my tastes.

This movie was really, really weird. I turned on the TV at 2 AM, and the first thing I saw was a kid drowning in a pool of blood. Needless to say, I had no choice but to watch the rest of the movie. The movie seemed to serve no real purpose, which is why I liked it. It was incredibly surreal. (Then again, part of that might have been because I was half-asleep.) In the morning, I actually convicned myself it had been a dream.
Anyway, through this whole thing I was expecting it to be deep, but it had a Goosebumps-type ending, which sort of ruined it for me. Well, anyway, I'm done now. I should never write reviews.
