About This Movie

Parents is a 1989 horror and comedy film directed by Bob Balaban. Its leading cast includes Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt and Sandy Dennis. It runs for 1 hour 22 minutes.

Synopsis

Michael is a young boy living in a typical 1950s suburbanite home... except for his bizarre and horrific nightmares, and continued unease around his parents. Young Michael begins to suspect his parents are cooking more than just hamburgers on the grill outside, but has trouble explaining his fears to his new-found friend Sheila, or the school's social worker.
