In a suburban community, moms and dads, one after the other, mysteriously feel the irresistible impulse to attack and kill their own offspring.

Mom and Dad's gonzo premise serves as an effective springboard for a wickedly dark, bloody comedy - and an appropriately over-the-top performance from Nicolas Cage.

'Mom and Dad' delivers wildly entertaining chaos through Nicolas Cage's unhinged performance and Selma Blair's menacing portrayal, with its original premise and dark humor earning widespread praise. However, the film divides audiences on engagement, with some finding it boring while others embrace the madness. The writing draws heavy criticism for plot holes and lack of explanation, and implausible character behavior frustrates many. Horror fans seeking absurdist comedy may enjoy this bonkers experience, but those wanting logical storytelling should look elsewhere.
