Peter Bradshaw

There is something very English about Mum & Dad, a macabre horror film, apparently inspired by the Fred and Rose West case, though if the dialogue were in German, I suppose I would think it was very Austrian. Writer-director Steven Sheil does a great deal with very little. Olga Fedori plays a Polish cleaner at Heathrow, who comes to stay at a creepy rundown place in the eerie industrial wasteland surrounding the airport. This is the domain of "Mum" and "Dad", played by Dido Miles and Perry Benson, who have a horrifying secret. I'm increasingly squeamish about horror, but this is an ice-cool film and Sheil is a smart operator.
