The Third Parent

The Third Parent (2027) is a horror-thriller from director David Michaels, ready to watch online on iFILM. A suburban Fourth of July cookout turns strange when an unwelcome anomaly takes hold of one family.

The intruder isn't there to kill. It wants to fix them — to mold the household into better people and obedient, model citizens, whether they agree or not. Crispin Glover, Rob Lowe and Roselyn Sánchez headline as a holiday gathering curdles into something airless and wrong.

A US–Hungary production, it finds its dread in forced kindness rather than gore: the scariest thing here wears a polite smile. One for viewers who like their horror odd and uncomfortable. Stream The Third Parent (2027) online on iFILM.
