A teenage girl and her little brother try to survive a wild 24 hours during which a mass hysteria of unknown origins causes parents to turn violently on their own children.

Critics Consensus

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.

The action is big and messy, bloody and ridiculous, but there is actually a real sense of horror in kids trying to survive such a personal, intimate, and uncompromising betrayal.

A twisted horror-comedy without much beyond its back-of-the-box description.

It's just a fun time... a simple film with a simple idea and letting it run through.

A vastly underrated horror comedy, with great acting, laugh-out-loud moments, and (IMO) all making for a better satire of the mid-life-crisis than American Beauty. Also, Cage is on top form, as always.

Interesting premise, but not so great on the execution.

Love the premise but this whole production was amateurish. The camera work was so terrible you couldn’t tell what was happening much of the times. The camera work was also way too chaotic, very infuriating

Dark, dark, dark. But if you can accept that, it becomes very entertaining, with numerous hysterical moments. A teen movie from the perspective of former teens that yearn for a return to the past. But there is a barrier in their way, kids!

I don't understand how the critics score and the audience sore is so different! I expected the oppoiste, audience loving it and critics hating it. This was a very good film, Cage and Blair are fantastic in it and it's never ever boring.
