Max: new this week

The Parenting (31 March)

Film (2025). A hilariously terrifying comedy, The Parenting follows young couple Rohan and Josh as they plan a perfect weekend getaway in the country to introduce their parents. As tensions begin to flare between the more traditional Sharon and Frank and the laid-back Liddy and Cliff, the families soon realise that their rental – managed by eccentric local Brenda – is haunted by the presence of a 400-year-old poltergeist.
