Storyline
Following the death of his elderly grandmother, Mike Franks travels with his wife Pam and 10-year-old daughter Amy to his grandmother's old house where he accidentally finds an old letter hidden behind a portrait of George Washington. A morbid letter supposedly written by Washington about killing and eating children. In trying to verify the authenticity of the letter, Mike becomes the target of 'the Washingtonians'; a secret society of various and powerful people who protect the secret life of the 'Father of the Country', and whom, like Washington... are cannibals.

The screenwriters stayed very close to Little's original story...I thought the beginning could have been cut down a tad, and the "6-month later" post ending was kind-of silly, but with those minor flaws aside, this was easily one of the best MASTERS OF HORROR episodes I've seen. There's some good, creepy moments, and the entire premise is downright spooky. Bloody good show here!
I'd like go know what Bentley Little thought of this, as well as other fans of the original story. The acting is fine, although the little girl's screams are kind-of unconvincing. I'm looking forward to the DVD.
