200686 min5.0 / 10

A dark family-unit horror-thriller that mines tension from the contrast between suburban normalcy and hidden serial-killer violence.

The Hamiltons seem to be the picture-perfect American family. They are hardworking community members; giving to their local charities, attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors...except for the fact that they usually end up killing them.
