It’s a family affair like no other in Mother Father Sister Brother Frank, a hilariously twisted comedy horror that promises laughs, blood, and an unforgettable Sunday dinner.
At first glance, the Jennings family appear to be your picture-perfect suburban household, complete with weekly family dinners and polished smiles. But as their pristine lives begin to unravel, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary family gathering.
Mum Joy (Mindy Cohn – Palm Royale, The Facts of Life), dad Jerry (Enrico Colantoni – Galaxy Quest, Veronica Mars), sister Jolene (Melanie Leishman – Todd and the Book of Pure Evil), and brother Jim (Iain Stewart – Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) are all set for their traditional Sunday meal when an uninvited guest, Uncle Frank (Juan Chioran – Dracula: A Chamber Musical), arrives unexpectedly. Frank’s not just there to say hello – he’s been blackmailing the Jennings, and he’s about to push this quirky clan over the edge.
When Jolene and Jim uncover Frank’s sordid threats, the siblings decide to take matters – and murder – into their own hands. What starts as a blood-soaked act of family loyalty quickly spirals into total chaos as the Jennings realise they have absolutely no idea how to commit, let alone clean up, a murder. Cue a series of side-splitting, shockingly gory mishaps as this dysfunctional foursome attempts to cover their tracks.
Written and directed by Caden Douglas (Pop), this darkly comic horror has already earned acclaim on the festival circuit for its blend of razor-sharp humor and gleeful gore. Now, Mother Father Sister Brother Frank is finally being served up for digital release on 27 January 2025, courtesy of Miracle Media.
Dysfunctional families are nothing new, but the Jennings take things to the next level. While most families bond over board games or movies, the Jennings bond over blood – and their wildly misguided attempts at murder make for a devilishly entertaining watch.
Get ready to feast on Mother Father Sister Brother Frank – a comedy horror where family dinner has never been so deadly… or so much fun.
