About

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.
Michael suspects his suburban parents are hiding a carnivorous secret behind their polished 1950s smiles. This pitch-black satire blends suburban dread with grotesque practical effects to turn a backyard barbecue into a nightmare.
