The Parenting's trailer is just as funny as the premise makes it sound. It starts with thumping sounds that are loud and unsettling and seem to come from nowhere. As the characters try to figure out what's going on, stranger things start to happen, like a parent being possessed and an encounter with a demon dog.

In the trailer, Rohan and Josh, a young couple, are shown struggling to keep the peace while their families react to the chaos going on around them.

There are scenes where characters are being sarcastic and making silly choices. Some characters say that the demon dog should be killed by sticking a finger up its rearside, and others yell at their parents. The dialogue looks like it will be both funny and crazy.

There's also a feeling that bad things are about to happen as the characters learn how dangerous the supernatural forces they are dealing with are. The trailer makes you think that the movie will be both funny and scary. In the end, the families work together to fight the evil spirit that is haunting the house.
