WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

The Ryan family – father Brent (Cage), mother Kendall (Blair), teenage daughter Carly (Winters) and young son Josh (Arthur) – are drifting further and further apart from one another. However, one day, a mysterious epidemic causes parents everywhere to violently turn against their children, and both Carly and Josh must avoid the wrath of their increasingly erratic and deadly behaviour…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Nicolas Cage is crazier than he’s been in years in this jet-black comedy-horror that sees Crank co-director Brian Taylor go all-out with his insane filmmaking techniques.
