🎬 The Parenting

The Parenting (2025) is a wild, hilarious, and blood-soaked ride through the horrors of meeting the in-laws—amplified by the supernatural. Dropping the QueerFilmHub.com audience into a cozy but terrifying countryside house rental, the film follows young gay boyfriends Josh (Brandon Flynn) and Rohan (Nik Dodani). Desperate to make a great impression and take their relationship to the next level, the two plan an ideal weekend getaway to formally introduce their respective parents to one another

The generational and social friction sparks almost instantly. Josh's parents, Frank (Brian Cox) and Sharon (Edie Falco), are rigid, traditional, and deeply uptight, while Rohan's parents, Liddy (Lisa Kudrow) and Cliff (Dean Norris), are eccentric, ultra-progressive, and aggressively laid-back. Just as the emotional claws come out and family tensions hit a breaking point, the chaotic weekend takes a horrific turn. The three couples accidentally uncover the presence of a malicious, 400-year-old poltergeist lurking inside the walls of the rental. Written by Kent Sublette and directed by Craig Johnson, the film leans fully into the "horror-comedy sandbox," utilizing an ancient evil entity to force two wildly mismatched families into a gruesome, hysterical fight for survival. It is a campy, laugh-out-loud popcorn thriller about setting boundaries, enduring parental judgment, and surviving the ultimate family nightmare. 🩸✨
