Critics Consensus

Mom and Dad's gonzo premise serves as an effective springboard for a wickedly dark, bloody comedy - and an appropriately over-the-top performance from Nicolas Cage.

The action is big and messy, bloody and ridiculous, but there is actually a real sense of horror in kids trying to survive such a personal, intimate, and uncompromising betrayal.

A twisted horror-comedy without much beyond its back-of-the-box description.

It's just a fun time... a simple film with a simple idea and letting it run through.

I loved this horror/comedy. It has a good balance of thrills (2/3rds) and laughs (about 1/3rd). Nicholas Cage goes "full psycho" - possibly more than in any other movie - and the other performances are excellent, as well. Subtract 1/2 a star because the ending is too abrupt.

A vastly underrated horror comedy, with great acting, laugh-out-loud moments, and (IMO) all making for a better satire of the mid-life-crisis than American Beauty. Also, Cage is on top form, as always.

Interesting premise, but not so great on the execution.

Love the premise but this whole production was amateurish. The camera work was so terrible you couldn’t tell what was happening much of the times. The camera work was also way too chaotic, very infuriating

Dark, dark, dark. But if you can accept that, it becomes very entertaining, with numerous hysterical moments. A teen movie from the perspective of former teens that yearn for a return to the past. But there is a barrier in their way, kids!
