A young mother (Colleen Porch), who has just recently given birth to her fourth child, is suffering from post-partem psychosis, meaning she hears voices, and contemplates suicide and homicide. When she suspects her truck driving husband (Joel Bryant) of cheating on her, she goes over the edge and takes it out on her young children.
Eldest son Jimmy (Ridge Canipe) tries to protect his siblings while trying to find help, but his mother seems to be an unstoppable killing machine.
What makes "Baby Blues" a decent film isn't the acting or effects, but rather the raw emotion emitted by the actors. You feel for the children, and you want the mother to pay for what she did to them. Suffering from a mental illness or not, the things she did to her children is highly unacceptable in any situation, and it angers me personally when people like that get away with committing such heinous crimes under the guise of 'mental illness.'
