Helen grunar ekki hversu hryllilegt kvöld hún á í vændum þegar hún fer í afskekkt hús við skóginn til að passa Lucas litla. Hann kvartar og kveinar yfir því að illmenni sé í felum inni í skápnum sínum, og þegar Lucas hverfur sporlaust um miðja nótt þá fer Helen að gruna að hann hafi verið að segja satt.
CHILD EATER er byggð á samnefndri stuttmynd og þó svo hún hafi verið tekin upp í Bandaríkjunum, að stærstum hluta með amerísku tökuliði og leikurum, þá rennur rammíslenskt blóð um æðar myndarinnar. Handritshöfundur og leikstjóri hennar er Erlingur Óttar Thoroddsen og tónlistina samdi Einar Sv. Tryggvason.

A simple night of babysitting takes a horrifying turn when Helen realizes the boogeyman really is in little Lucas’ closet …
Flashlight in hand, Helen takes to the woods and follows Lucas’ trail straight to the old Bowery Zoo,
which is practically right in Lucas’ backyard.
