Destry Allyn Spielberg is the youngest biological child of director Steven Spielberg and his second wife, actress Kate Capshaw. She’s been a model, an actress and grew up on film sets, which is how she was inspired to become a director. This is her first full-length movie.

I kind of love this “Parents Need to Know” from Common Sense Media: “Parents need to know that the horror film Please Don’t Feed the Children stars Michelle Dockery and contains significant violence and jump scares as well as swearing. Variations on “f–k,” “s–t,” “ass,” and “bitch” are used throughout. A virus is turning adults into cannibals, while child carriers are being hunted down and killed. Characters are chased, captured, drugged, tortured, and killed. They experience fear and witness the cold-blooded killings of their loved ones, including younger siblings. People are stabbed, shocked via a collar, shot at close range, and killed. The movie has themes of cannibalism and lots of blood. Wounds are shown in close-up. Two young people kiss, and people are glimpsed in their underwear.”

All the cannibalism is fine. It’s the underwear we need to be concerned about!

Mary (Zoe Colletti) is trying to escape the government officials who are trapping and killing kids, the carriers of a virus that turns people into cannibals. She joins up with Vicky (Regan Aliyah), Ben (Andrew Liner), Seth (Josh Melnick), Jeffy (Dean Scott Vazquez), and Crystal (Emma Meisel), who are trying to get as far away as possible and attempt to cross the border into Mexico. After some injuries, they seek safety at Clara’s (Michelle Dockery) house. She claims to be a nurse and even offers to make them cookies, but the truth is much more sinister. Not everyone will survive, obviously.

No one can trust each other, but when you live in a world where the government is killing adults, blaming children and locking down the world, well…would you? Mary just wants the kids to herself to replace her kids, who died as a result of the virus. She’s helped by a cop named Fitz (Giancarlo Esposito) whose loyalties seem to shift between helping and harming the group.

Spoiler: This is another movie that concludes with a young girl setting a house on fire.

Written by Paul Bertino, this film was allowed to continue filming during the SAG-AFTRA strike last year because it was not tied to a studio. It also had some issues with funding and paying its cast, but that’s how low-budget films go.,

You can watch this on Tubi.
