Mum & Dad (2008)

Mum and Dad are your regular kind of parents. If by regular you mean they took parenting tips from Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, live off what they can steal from the airport where they work, and adopt new members of their family by abducting them from the local airport as well. This grim, violent, British movie follows Lena who finds herself the latest addition to this demented family. As bizarre as this scenario is, it is also strangely believable now that we know of Austria’s Josef Fritzl who kept his daughter in the basement for 24 years while he lived upstairs with his wife and his children to the captive daughter.
