“A terror of relatives”: film refers to 80’s classics, says Creator

Starring by the actress Lisa Kudrow (“Friends”), the horror comedy “A terror of relatives” It arrived at the Max streaming service on Thursday (13). In an interview provided exclusively to CNN Production creators Craig Johnson (Director) and Kent Sublette (screenwriter), revealed details of the work, which refers to the great classics of the 80s and 90s.

“The script was sent to me and I couldn’t believe it while I read it because I thought, ‘It reminds me of the movies I loved as a child.’ I am a 80s child and a 90’s teenager. You saw movies like these a little more at that time… The movies were not afraid to mix genres to be scary and funny, ”said Johnson.

For him, “a terror of relatives” is the face of classics like “The Ghosts have fun” (1988), “Poltergeist-The Phenomenon” (1982), “The Ghost Hunts” (1984)
and “Gremlins” (1984)
.

“Poltergeist was one of my favorites. I kind of looked at that, if you had some of the funniest actors in the world trapped in a Poltergeist house, what would happen? ”The director added.

“But these were my favorite movies, so I looked at it as an opportunity to direct the kind of movie that kind of inspired me to become a filmmaker and I knew I needed to be funny and frightening in equal measures. ”

The production accompanies the young couple Rohan and Josh as they organize a perfect weekend in the countryside to introduce their parents. But as tensions increase between traditional Sharon and Frank and relaxed Liddy and Cliff, families soon discover that the house is haunted by a paranormal event called 400 -year -old Poltergeist.

When one parent ends up completely possessed, it is up to Rohan and Josh to unite families and defeat the evil entity once and for all.

Sublette revealed that he wrote the story based on his own experience.

“The inspiration for the script came from when my husband and I started dating, a long time ago. Our parents had not known yet. ‘Let’s make everyone come for three days and spend three days together’. I won’t say it was a disaster, but it was very stressful. And we said to each other: ‘The only thing that would make it more difficult is if this house was misguided,’ ”joked the professional.

Starry

In addition to Kudrow, they make up the starry cast the names of Nik Dodani (“Atypical”), Brandon Flynn (“The Thirteen”), Brian Cox (“Succession”), Edie Falco (“Nursie Jackie”), Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”), Parker Posey (“Lost in Space”) and Vivian Bang (“Whute Rabbit”).

“Brian Cox came in first, and once he came in, I think he gave him [o filme] The kind of actor legitimacy, ”said Craig Johnson. “He is such a prestigious actor and is associated with so many high level projects. It is as if he were legitimizing our stranger, a bizarre demon movie with projectile vomiting. And these people are certainly funny. There is also Edie Falco, which is just one of the best actresses we have been working on. ”

The director then revealed, a comic detail that occurred with Lisa Kudrow, on the scene.

“Without spoiling much, we have a scene with a weird dog, with Edie Falco and Lisa Kudrow, these two kind of iconic actresses. I’m like, ‘I can’t believe we convince them to do this crazy scene with this weird rubber dog that attacks them, and they have to hit him with a hammer and all that.’ I am like, ‘how
Did we get it? How do we deceive these great actors to make this scene completely crazy? ‘ But we did it. And so well, I take the credit, ”he joked.

The creators hope to surprise the audience. “I want everyone to stay up all night and think about it and don’t sleep,” Kent Sublette reflected.

“It has so many different elements. I think people may think this may be funny, but it certainly won’t be scary, right? Or this can be kind of scary, but how funny could it be? I hope it’s both. This is my hope, ”concluded Johnson.
