The Parenting
Boyfriends Josh and Rohan plan a weekend getaway to introduce their parents, only to discover that their rental is home to a 400-year-old poltergeist.
Why it matters
A sharp blend of haunted house horror and family drama that channels real-world relationship tensions through supernatural chaos.
- Tense, authentic performances anchor the film’s blend of humor and horror, making family strife feel like the real nightmare.
- The 400-year-old poltergeist adds a classic supernatural punch, grounding the story in familiar, effective haunting tropes.
- For fans of character-driven horror where the scares come as much from people as from ghosts.
- Visuals suffer from questionable HDR choices that obscure nighttime scenes, which might frustrate viewers craving atmospheric clarity.
