Parents is a 1989 American black comedy horror film directed by Bob Balaban and starring Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt, Sandy Dennis and Bryan Madorsky.

It was Balaban’s debut as a feature film director. Released by Vestron Pictures on January 27, 1989, the film received a mixed response from critics and fared poorly commercially. Randy Quaid’s performance earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Male Lead. ()

About Parents

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.
