The Parenting may sound like your typical meet-the-parents weekend getaway, but this comedy-horror twist is anything but ordinary.
In this genre-blending romp, boyfriends Josh and Rohan are ready to take the next big step in their relationship—introducing their very different families during a cozy weekend retreat in a picturesque countryside rental. What’s supposed to be a heartfelt milestone filled with slightly awkward conversations and forced family bonding takes a wild turn when the couple learns that their charming Airbnb is already occupied—by a 400-year-old poltergeist with a serious grudge and a flair for dramatic entrances.
The Knockturnal caught up with members of the cast to dive into their favorite moments on set, the clever way the film balances horror and humor, and why this spooky, offbeat story has something for everyone. With its witty dialogue, emotional beats, and supernatural edge, The Parenting is great fans looking for laughs, love, and a little bit of lingering terror.
