The Sven Squad takes over this week with a House of Svengoolie presentation, offering a slightly different format from the usual broadcast. Featured is Parents (1989), a darkly satirical horror film directed by Bob Balaban. Set in the 1950s, the film follows a young boy who begins to suspect that his seemingly perfect suburban parents are hiding something deeply disturbing.
Starring Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt, Parents blends psychological horror with social commentary, and over time, it has gained recognition as a cult favorite for its slow-building tension.
