The Parenting Review

‘The Parenting’ Sees a Vacation Rental Go Wrong in New Horror Comedy. Brian Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Parker Posey, Dean Norris, Edie Falco and Brandon Flynn are among the cast for director Craig Johnson’s new horror comedy. Premiering on Max on March 13th, ‘The Parenting’ is the latest blend of horror and comedy to arrive this year –– and is one of the most successful so far.

Humorously blending the sort of possession story offered up by ‘The Exorcist’ allied with the rom-com stylings of ‘Meet the Parents,’ Craig Johnson’s movie works on both fronts, and a committed cast throw themselves into the roles.
