"Jolly Black Comedy Fun"
Writer-Director Caden Douglas' black comedy is getting a Digital release from Miracle Media.
The four members of the Jennings family are settling down to their regular Sunday night dinner together, and it turns out they all have secrets. Mother (Mindy Cohn from Apple+ TV show Palm Royale) and Father (Enrico Colantoni, still probably best known to genre fans for playing Mathesar in 1999's GALAXY QUEST) are reluctant to reveal theirs, although it's essential they do so.
Meanwhile brother Jim (Iain Stewart) is about to get divorced, while his already divorced sister Jolene (Melanie Leishman from 2014's musical STAGE FRIGHT) is pregnant. Then Uncle Frank (Juan Chioran) turns up and it quickly becomes obvious that something needs to be done about him.
A quirky, gory comedy that feels a bit like if the director of WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE decided to make a feature length episode of sitcom Friday Night Dinners, MOTHER FATHER SISTER BROTHER FRANK starts quietly but director Douglas skilfully allows things to get riotously out of hand as incident is piled upon incident. It's a deliciously silly film centred around murder and the subsequent disposal of the body, and if you're in the right mood you'll find plenty to smile at. Here's a trailer:
