Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankePretty clever thriller that's about half as smart as it thinks it is.
FilmLand Empire - 0/10 by Anton BitelThe Oedipal conflict that Parents plays out is timeless, but also very much rooted in its times, with a darkly comic nostalgia that looks both backwards to a Paradise lost and forwards to one perhaps never regained.
User Review - 10/10 by Kent WDavid Lynch comes to mind. And a great performance by Quaid.
User Review - 10/10 by Valerie BShot beautifully, but probably not for everyone
User Review - 10/10 by Brian BMakes a strong statement about What goes on behind closed doors. Also, It displays; "Do as I say and not Do as I do" brilliantly. It's darkly comic at times and yet in it's satire of the pretentiousness of the 'wholesome' all american family, it is a very Haunting tale, Just put yourself in young Michael's shoes. A fantastic film and Randy Quaid gives a career Best performance. "Eat your meat Michael".
User Review - 10/10 by Lafe FParents is one weird movie! Part satire/comedy, part horror, Parents tells the disturbing story of an impressionable young boy who begins to suspect that his parents are murderous cannibals. It's hard to pinpoint just what it is that got under my skin about this film. The eerie, subtle music score, the acting, and the sterile set design all play a part in crafting an unsettling mood. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film is the open ended nature of the narrative. Is young Michael just mentally disturbed or is there something more sinister at work? Parents is certainly an original and spooky addition to any horror fans library. Check it out!

User Review - 10/10 by Wraith AHow have I not heard of this movie sooner?! This is the blackest comedy I've ever seen! This movie is insane! The story is about a very young boy, who is also very weird and odd, who suspects his parents might not be who they seem to be. He starts catching them doing some obscene stuff and starts to question where they get all their food from. Yes, you probably already guessed. This movie is about a boy who thinks his parents are cannibals! Even if it's only 77 minutes long, this movie will disturb you, make you laugh because of how awkward it is, and maybe even scar you. The acting is brilliant! The parents are scary, creepy and disturbing. Whenever Randy Quaid is on screen, it's terrifying. The mother is much less scary, it's the father who you should be afraid of the most. The little kid's acting might seem bad to some, but I thought it was actually pretty spot on. His reactions to things happening around him seem very real. At times it's like he isn't even acting! He's literally scared! The soundtrack helps the movie a lot. It makes every scene seem like it's the most disturbing one ever. The ending is shocking and brutal. All in all, this goes high on my list of favourite movies and I'll deffinetely watch it again. Great acting, awesome soundtrack, ridiculous, yet frightening story. I would recommend seeing this movie at least once.
