The Parenting

In the end, Rohan and Josh’s families come together in a surprising way, as everyone volunteers to become a host for the demon Andreas in a desperate attempt to save themselves and defeat the evil presence. Each family member offers themselves, hoping that one of them will be chosen, but the demon, weakened without a suitable host, struggles to decide. As the demon’s power diminishes, it collapses to the ground and disappears, having failed to find a body to inhabit. This act of collective surrender ultimately weakens the demon and lets the spirits of Allie, her mother, and her brother finally cross over peacefully. The film ends on a note of unity and acceptance, with Josh proposing to Rohan and their families celebrating their love and newfound closeness, having faced their fears together. In the closing moments, Rohan and Josh reflect on the strange and terrifying night, still puzzled by the demon’s bird-like appearance, but glad that through their courage and love, they managed to conquer the evil and bring healing to their families. The story emphasizes that vulnerability and confronting one’s fears can lead to unexpected bonds and resolutions, even amid the horror.
