Movies like Son of the Mask

“Son of the Mask (2005) is a 2000s US family-comedy with body-horror inflection that stages parental anxiety through mythic physicality. The film pits a father's desire for domestic normalcy against mask-induced chaos and uses pop-saturated, high-contrast visuals to translate that conflict into visual spectacle. Clinically, it reframes fatherhood as a site of comic grotesquerie, arguing that domestic responsibility can be dramatized as mythic misrule.”
