Wood plays an immature man named Norval Greenwood, who visits a remote coastal cabin belonging to his father, who he hasn’t seen in more than 30 years. Much to Norval’s dismay, he quickly learns that his dear old dad is a massive jerk. As Norval desperately seeks a way to get through to his disgruntled father, he must contend with demons, both real and make-believe.
The film is rated R for intense, grisly violence and graphic nudity, so it might not make the best film for family movie night.
What else should you watch on Amazon Prime Video this weekend?
If horror isn’t to your liking or you’re looking for something a little more family-friendly, there are other options that are still relatively new to the Amazon Prime Video catalog. Adam Sandler’s film Jack and Jill is a PG-rated comedy recently released on the streaming service.
