A couple with money problems and no job moves in with his parents. The trouble is that he didn't tell them they were coming.
Call this an uncomfortable black comedy/thriller that is a walk down a dark path. This is some unpleasant people doing not nice things to each other.
Whether you like the film or not is going to be determined by how you like the turning of worms. For me this sort of thing never thrilled me. I never got off with watching bad things happen to people, even if they deserve it. I also never particularly cared to watch crazy people do crazy things, which what this film is.
Perhaps this would have worked if it wasn't clear from the start that the young couple are not wrapped to tight. Its also clear why parents and child were not really talking to each other. The result of this is a film where we can pretty much guess what is going to happen. It's not bad but it isn't compelling enough.
Worth a look for people who are aren't demanding.
Ohh good to know!! I was curious about this but definitely sounds like a film I would not like!
