In Child Eater (2016), director Erlingur Thoroddsen crafts a chilling horror experience that taps into childhood fears and urban legends. This eerie tale of a babysitter, a missing child, and a monstrous presence lurking in the darkness brings old-school suspense and nightmare-fueled terror to life.

The Story: A Legend That Feeds on Fear
When Helen (Cait Bliss) agrees to babysit Lucas (Colin Critchley) in a quiet, rural town, she thinks it will be just another uneventful night. But Lucas, a boy haunted by his fears, insists that something is watching him from the shadows—something that wants his eyes.
As the night progresses, Lucas vanishes without a trace, leading Helen on a desperate search deep into the woods, where she encounters a horrifying local legend: Robert Bowery, a deranged child murderer who was said to consume the eyes of his victims to preserve his own fading vision. But Bowery is more than just a ghost story—he’s real, and he’s still hungry.
Helen’s mission? To find Lucas before he becomes the monster’s next meal. But in the darkness of the forest, with every shadow hiding something sinister, survival may not be an option.
