Sometimes a film goes overlooked until buzz starts to pick up and gives the film momentum.  Such is the case with the upcoming UK Horror film Mum & Dad.  This little low budget film has never gotten any press on our site, but with a recent buzzworthy debut at Edinburgh and a very intriguing trailer I figured it’s time to hop on the bandwagon. 

Mum & Dad is said to be a very dark and disturbing black comedy/horror that is intended to make it’s viewers squirm.  Mum & Dad work at the airport with their two children Elbie and Birdie.  They dont have much and live off the things they can find in the airport.  A fellow airport worker named Lena, who is a Romanian immigrant, finds herself down in her luck and in need of a place to stay.  Birdie offers her a bed for the night and Lena accepts.  Little does she know that her trouble are just beginning as she is in for a world filled with hellish violence.  She will soon have to make a choice: become part Birdie’s sadistic family or die. 

Mum & Dad is Directed by Steven Sheil who’s only other directors credit is the 2002 horror short, Cry.  The film stars Perry Benson, Dido Miles, Olga Fedori, Ainsley Howard, and Toby Alexander.  The film has yet to get an offiicial release date but will be playing at Frightfest this year in the UK.  Check out the trailer for it below.
