Baby Blues

Postpartum depression is a bitch. Here, a mother suffering from it while alone with her four children on a secluded farm, takes it out on her young ones. Her truck driver husband is on the road and the oldest son is left to fend for himself and his younger siblings. Sadly, this proves to be too big a task for young Jimmy.

He watches in horror as mom kills them off one by one, starting with baby Nathan. He ends up injured himself before stumbling away, hiding under hay, in the chicken coop, in the house, while desperately trying to raise alarm.

Eventually, he manages to lock her into a room...with a hatchet. Not the luckiest break. After he survives the hatched and a tumble down the stairs, mom comes after him with a shotgun. He eventually saves himself with help of an old gas oven and a book of matches.

Children die. Stay away if you cannot take that.
