While driving along a rural road, a traveling photographer stops and offers a seven year old boy (Tim Parkison) a ride home. Once there, he finds himself the dinner guest of the tyke and his six siblings (John Savage, Robby Benson, Brent Campbell, Arlene Farber, Patti Parkison, John Connell). Soon, it is learned that these kids are orphans and are intensely desiring parental supervision..., so much so that they are willing to kill to get it. Can the man and the family's surrogate mother escape these disturbed youngsters and their vicious attack-dogs before it is too late? Originally made for television, this flick offered parts for Savage and Benson early on in their careers; Benson, incidentally, sings the theme song.
Warning (rated NR): adult themes; brief/mild violence.
