The smart ten year-old Jimmy (Ridge Canipe) lives in an isolated farm with his mother (Coleen Porch) and his three younger siblings. His father (Joel Bryant) is a truck driver that spends most of the time on the road leaving the family under the care of his wife. When he travels during the night to deliver some cargo in a nearby town, his stressed wife finds a match box of a stripper-club in one of his pockets and this finding triggers a psychotic breakdown on her. She kills the baby boy and tries to drown her daughter Cathy (Cali Majors) but Jimmy saves his sister. Then she stabs her son Sammy (Holden Thomas Maynard) and chases Jimmy and Cathy through the cornfields in a dreadful night of terror.
"Baby Blues" is a tense and scary movie that tells the story of a mother that has a psychotic breakdown and kills her defenseless children during the night. The story is very simple and only the conclusion is disappointing, with dad accepting mom back home only to give a hook for a sequel. The cast is sensational, highlighting Coleen Porch and the boy Ridge Canipe in a very difficult role for a child. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Herança Maldita" ("Damned Heritage")
