Mom and Dad
Sometimes they just want to kill you
Directed by Brian Taylor
Produced by Armory Films, Zeal Media
A darkly comedic horror-thriller that mines absurdist dread from the violation of parental bonds, balancing graphic violence with farcical tone.
In a suburban community, moms and dads, one after the other, mysteriously feel the irresistible impulse to attack and kill their own offspring.
