Nic Cage is always enjoyable to watch especially with his angry n constipated face aka Cage Rage. If u enjoyed the scene wher he is crying in pain in a jute sack aft getting a beating in Wicker Man then u will love the scene where he stumbles...

The plot is similar to The Signal (2007). Unknown virus/transmission turns parents into murdering their own kids. Myself cant stand harm shown towards kiddies n any kinda rape. So dont worry, the film takes it a bit easy on kiddie deaths but it has some genuine tension, over the top performance, solid dark humour n a cameo by Lance Henriksen n an attractive Selma Blair. The scenes in the hospital delivery room especially wher bunch of parents r waiting to kill their newborns is truly frightening.

MOM AND DAD is a low budget horror yarn boasts a novel premise: the country is affected by a new virus that causes parents to turn on their own offspring with murderous intent. It's a premise film then and one that plays out with a certain amount of energy and tension, although the lack of warm characters hurts it a bit. The setup tends to be better than the payoff, as in the latter section this turns into the Nicolas Cage show with the actor given carte blanche to go full psycho for what feels like an age. Selma Blair is more restrained and better for it. There's at least one good twist and many an uncomfortable moment, but you can't help but wish it had been a little better than it turned out.

Carly Ryan is a regular self-obsessed, phone-obsessed, obsess-obsessed teenager in a seemingly idyllic suburb. Her younger brother is a brat. Her mother (Selma Blair) is troubled by the growing distance between them. There's something wrong with her dad (Nicolas Cage). Riley's her best friend and Damon's her boyfriend. Their school is evacuated for some reason and then the parents start attacking their children.

This starts with an intriguing horror premise. The mother trying to kill her newborn baby is a great scene. This could have gone in a great direction but once the mother comes home, it stagnates into a really simple killing movie. The only deserving twist is the arrival of the grandparents. A better construction would have Selma Blair saving kids as the B-story. Nicolas Cage is a great crazy doing his thing. The kids finally do away with Cage. After saving many lives, Selma Blair returns home and suddenly a switch is flipped. That would be a great twist ending. This squanders a great premise.
