Please Don’t Feed the Children
When a mysterious outbreak turns adults into cannibals, a group of orphans, Mary (Zoe Colletti), Ben (Andrew Liner), Jeffy (Dean Scott Vazquez), Vicky (Regan Aliyah), Seth (Joshuah Melnick), and Crystal (Emma Meisel) is forced to flee to survive. During their fear-filled escape, they find a remote house belonging to Clara (Michelle Dockery), a seemingly kind woman. Behind Clara’s hospitality lies a deadly secret. Unbeknownst to them, the milk and cookies she serves are laced with sedatives. They pass out and awaken in a terrifying, dark room, adjacent to a mysterious creature. Meanwhile, Detective Fitz (Giancarlo Esposito), who is searching for the orphans, grows suspicious. Though Fitz knows Clara and trusts what she says, his instincts tell him something is wrong in that house.
