Family Movie Review: Kevin Bacon & Family’s Meta Horror-Comedy Coasts By On Its Real Chemistry

This film is surprisingly gentle and sweet, especially considering its strange story. The premise suggests a complex plot, but the script by Dan Beers (and no, not that Bacon!) is often surprisingly simple and struggles to find a consistent tone. The movie jumps between casual murders and attempts at sincere, emotional conversations that feel out of place. However, the actors – a genuine family who have worked together for years – have great chemistry, which saves the somewhat weak writing and makes the film enjoyable, even if it’s not particularly exciting.
