Mom and Dad (2018, from one of the directors of Crank 1 & 2)

[Small Man Big Horse]

This is the latest from Brian Taylor, one of the directors of Crank and Crank 2 (and SyFy's current adaptation of Grant Morrison's graphic novel Happy!, which might explain why Morrison has a small cameo in the film). In it Nicholas Cage and Selma Blair are bland parents of two rubbish children until some sort of sonic virus makes all parents want to kill their biological offspring. It's a tight film with twenty minutes of scene setting and then an hour of carnage, and it contains at least one really fucking horrible part where a newborn child is attacked whilst still attached to it's mother, and so is worth watching that reason alone. On the down side there's nothing shockingly new here, and Cage is surprisingly subdued (at least compared to his more extreme performances) but Selma Blair does a great job as the murderous mother and overall it's a fun enough ride.

That won't survive the BBFC's scissors these days.

I haven't seen it but I read the plot and it sounds a lot like The Signal (2008). Is it basically just that again?

I've not seen The Signal but reading up on it suggests they have similarities but are probably just about different enough to be worth watching.

I was about to say, see also: Cell - but it looks like nobody actually saw it. Absolute critical and commercial failure.
