Synopsis
In the unfettered atmosphere of the late 1960s, a couple builds a life based on their belief in the superior value of tradition and normalcy. A large house, a large family, all the expected pleasantries convince them they can remain untouched by dark events--until the birth of their fifth child, a gruesome, insatiably hungry, violent child., A self-satisfied couple intent on raising a happy family is shocked by the birth of an abnormal and brutal fifth child.
