Rating: 6/10 --
The central idea of alienation may be ever present but Balaban doesn't get the tone quite right with direction that's fine scene to scene but cumulatively doesn't generate the necessary thrills to make Parents one to rush out and adopt.

Starburst
Parents is not for the squeamish. Its sound track jostles with novelty tunes of the 1950s-from Chantilly Lace to Purple People Eater-but the humor only enhances the horror.

Maclean's Magazine
The Oedipal conflict that Parents plays out is timeless, but also very much rooted in its times, with a darkly comic nostalgia that looks both backwards to a Paradise lost and forwards to one perhaps never regained.

Rating: 8/10 --
Parents offers a unique horror-comedy experience that, while disliked by critics after its release in 1989, can now certainly be deemed a cult classic.

Film Pulse
...Especially amusing is the use of '50s pop ballads and some droll elementary-school classroom scenes. Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt are as 'right' as the indoor production design...

Rating: 2/4 --
Because it speaks to a terror that lurks deep within our memories, Parents has the potential to be a great horror film. But it never knows quite what to do with its inspiration.

Pretty clever thriller that's about half as smart as it thinks it is.

Product Description:
Little Michael (Bryan Madorsky) has everything his ten-year-old heart could desire - including a great dinner every night. But soon he questions where all the "leftovers" come from and discovers that his dad is bringing home much more than the bacon. Randy Quaid (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) and Mary Beth Hurt (THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE) play the fearsome 50s parents, while Sandy Dennis (COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN) co-stars as a social worker.
