Mum & Dad
2008 · 84 min · Director: Steven Sheil
Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Mum and Dad and their 'adopted' children, Birdie and Elbie, work at the airport and live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices, and hotels--including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport's soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder, and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a 'Mummy's Girl', Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family--and join them in their insanity--or die.
