This horror-comedy that must have been written by a step-parent in-the-know has recently married Gary (Adam Scott) slowly coming to suspect his new stepson is the devil incarnate and while the movie cleverly draws on classic horror tropes (most notably from The Omen), it also cleverly likens a step-parent's devotion to a partner's child to demon-slaying, suggesting it is every parent's (and step-parent's) job to close the door to evil in a child's life.
