Family Attraction

About This Movie

So, 'Family Attraction' is this odd blend of dark comedy and satirical drama, set in a world where the classic family unit is treated like an endangered species. It’s got Chris Penn and Martin Sheen, which adds a certain weight to the performances, especially with Penn's often raw and layered portrayal. The pacing is a bit quirky, as it drifts between moments of tension and absurdity, almost like a play at times. It really digs into themes of societal norms and the absurdity of family life, making for a strange but thought-provoking watch. The practical effects aren’t the highlight, but the atmosphere? It’s definitely got a unique vibe that sticks with you.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in the collector's circuit, especially since the director remains unknown, adding an air of mystery. Its limited home video releases make it hard to come by, with only a few editions surfacing over the years. There's a niche audience that appreciates its eccentric narrative style and unique commentary on family dynamics, making it a curious piece for those who enjoy the offbeat and unconventional.
