Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt play a couple of picture perfect 50's parents who might be hiding a disturbing secret that only their strange young son suspects. All that meat in their fridge might not be from animals, but from humans.
Taking the point of view of the young son, you're never really sure what to believe while you're watching Parents. Could this all be the product of a child's overactive imagination or could these people really be cannibals? Parents does lose a little steam once it decides to rip off the Band-Aid and let the audience know exactly what's going on, but it's still a creepy, disturbing, and sometimes darkly funny movie.
