1989's Parents is a great blend of comedy, horror and drama. Though it tends to be pretty uneven at times and some of the plot points are questionable, it is still quite enjoyable. It's not really your typical horror movie but there are plenty of elements that make it acceptable to group it in that category. Basically, it's just downright creepy.
Michael, a young boy living in 1950's suburbia, suffers from constant nightmares and discomfort around his parents. They have the same meat every night for dinner and he starts to question where exactly it came from. After he does some digging, he discovers the answer to his questions are worse than he could have ever known.
Like I said, the script is definitely flawed but fun. The acting is over the top but somehow this adds to the film's black comedy feel. All in all, it's worth giving a shot.
