Imagine all your childhood drawings came to life and tried to kill you.

Written and directed by Seth Worley the 12A rated movie stars Tony Hale (of Arrested Development fame) as Taylor Wyatt, a widowed father struggling to sell his house while dealing with the everyday upheaval that comes with raising children.
