Default Answered: The Cement Garden *solved*

I watched a film in the early 90's, must have been on c4. It involved a brother and sister that murder their parents and end up burying them in the basement of their house. Towards the end the brother and sister end up sleeping together. I know it sounds weird but I recall it being on after the watershed.

I think it was British, or possibly Australian. I was young when I saw it and would like find it again. I cannot recall any actors from it. Very vague memory of it.

I think their father had a heart attack whilst laying cement in the garden and their mother stricken with grief takes to her bed and dies about half way through the film.
To avoid being taken into care the kids build the mother a concrete tomb in the basement.
I always wondered where it was filmed, as I recall their house was completely surrounded by demolished buildings
