Michael is a young boy living in a typical 1950s suburbanite home... except for his bizarre and horrific nightmares, and continued unease around his parents. Young Michael begins to suspect his parents are cooking more than just hamburgers on the grill outside, but has trouble explaining his fears to his new-found friend Sheila, or the school's social worker.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The plot summary indicates a horror/thriller focused on suburban paranoia and potential cannibalism in the 1950s. There is no mention of Christmas setting, plot involvement, themes, iconography, or resolution."
