	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"This giddy exercise transcends mere bad-taste humor to become one of the great jet-black comedies about suburbia (...) The juvenile actors play it straight, with skill"	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"Told with verve, panache and lots of fake blood (...) In strictly genre terms, it’s refreshing to see a film willing to create a new kind of monster here out of the parents"	POS
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"A must-see for Nicolas Cage fans (...) The premise, written by Taylor, is the first truly clever riffs on the zombie genre in a long time (...) Thanks to Cage, it’s also impossibly funny."	POS
United States	Ben Croll IndieWire	"'Mom and Dad' has the same depraved verve, sick humor and berserk pulse of the 'Crank' series (...) Not quite a zombie film (...) [it] plays with many of the codes and expectations of the genre"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There’s something refreshingly upfront about 'Mom and Dad' (...) The infanticidal imagery will linger, whether you like it or not (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Down and dirty pulp pleasure (...) 'Mom And Dad's concept is so delightfully twisted that the movie doesn’t need a lot more to be successful"	POS
