ReportSynopsis
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.

The main plot of the film is the son starting to suspect that his parents are cannibals and developing an aversion to the meat they try to serve him because of it. It's ambiguous whether or not they are actual cannibals for most of the film until the son and his friend discover a corpse hidden in the basement, confirming his fears.

There is hand mutilation though, where a character grabs onto the blade of a butcher knife with both hands, and it's pulled away from her.
