Set in the quiet Midwestern town of Ravenwood, Illinois, DAD ATE MOM! follows Ethan Harper, a weary but devoted factory worker and father of three, whose seemingly normal suburban life begins to unravel after his young children start saying things no child should know. Their calm, unsettling statements—about death, mirrors, and things hiding beneath beds—are dismissed as imagination at first, until Ethan’s wife Mary mysteriously vanishes without a trace. As neighbors begin to disappear and the police fail to act, Ethan uncovers disturbing clues hidden inside his own home: childlike drawings, ritualistic patterns, and signs suggesting that something is spreading from family to family. What begins as a psychological mystery escalates into a brutal suburban slasher, where children watch silently from the background and violence feels disturbingly domestic. The film builds toward a chilling revelation—this is not one broken household, but a chain—and ends with a haunting question: what if children aren’t imagining anything at all?
