Plot Outline: On a secluded family farm, a mother suffers a psychotic break due to postpartum depression, forcing the eldest son to protect his sibling from the mother they have always known and loved.
Plot: With her husband gone and the stress of family life rising, Mom suffers a psychotic break due to postpartum depression that compels her to exterminate her children: ages 10,7,4, and 3 months. Now hope for the familys survival rests on the shoulder of Jimmy, the eldest son and surrogate man of the house. Using his wits and intricate knowledge of the farm, Jimmy must try to protect his siblings while fending off the woman he has always known and loved as his mother. Thus, it comes down to the most epic of battles, Mother vs. Son, in the most horrific of scenarios.

Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Toward the end of the credits, there are some lines in Maori, thanking the people of New Zealand, where the movie was filmed.:  He mihi nui hoki ki nga tangata whenua o Aotearoa. Ma rangi raua ko papa  tatou e manaaki, e tiaki hei nga tau e tu mai nei.

Goofs: We know about 94 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Many viewers spotted a car in the background of the theatrical version when Sam says that he is now the furthest he has ever been from home. In a 1 December 2003 Newsweek article, director Peter Jackson confirmed this, and revealed the car had been removed digitally for the DVD release. Jackson says: “We actually didnt know about the car until we were cutting the movie. The smoke and dust wasnt so bad because there was already lots of it around, but the bloody windshield was reflecting the sun back into the camera lens. So we erased it for the DVD. I think some people were upset because they tried to show it to their friends and it was gone.”

Trivia: There are 1 entries in the trivia list – like these:
