Synopsis :
Saat kedua orang tuanya terbunuh dalam kecelakaan yang tragis, David sebagai anak tertua keluarga Hamilton memindahkan seluruh keluarganya yang tersisa ke sebuah daerah yang tenang di California. Sebagai anak tertua David kemudian mengambil alih tanggung jawab untuk merawat ketiga adiknya Wendell, Darlene dan Francis. Disaat sang kembar Wendell dan Darlene tampak tidak dapat dipisahkan, Francis tidak sengaja menemukan sebuah kamera milik kedua orang tuanya yang menunjukkan bahwa sebuah kejahatan telah menjadi tradisi di keluarga Hamilton. Apakah Francis akan akan mengikuti tradisi ini dan menjadi korban berikutnya ?
Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores (aka the Butcher Brothers) break big on the horror scene with this low-budget frightener concerning a picture-perfect suburban family who harbors a particularly dark secret. When their parents are killed in a tragic accident, eldest Hamilton sibling David (Samuel Child) relocates the surviving family members to a quiet California suburb and assumes the responsibility of caring for his orphaned siblings Wendell (Joseph McKelheer), Darlene (Mackenzie Firgens), and Francis (Cory Knauf). While twins Wendell and Darlene seem to share a bizarre bond that separates them from the rest of the siblings, Francis acquires a video camera that previously belonged to his deceased parents and sets out preparing a school project about his family. As the all-seeing lens of Francis' roving camera begins to reveal that something malevolent is going on inside the Hamilton's picturesque abode and his reluctant siblings find their decidedly unconventional existence suddenly threatened, the youngest sibling is forced to choose between following his family into a murderous tradition or sparing the lives of future victims by betraying the only people who ever seemed to care for him. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
