A man inherits his grandmother's colonial house where he moves into with his wife and young daughter. Following the discovery of a note hidden in the frame of an old painting of George Washington, containing the founding father's admission of practicing ritualistic cannibalism on children, a stir is caused among the weirdo towns folk. Turns out the family is in the midst of a community of whacked out, old occultists who stringently uphold Washington's love for human consumption while donning powdered wigs and wooden teeth, appropriately.
This one didn't flat out suck or anything, I just found the pacing a bit 'off' and it generally lacking in atmosphere, overall. The concept WAS decent enough and I liked the unexpected ending with the 'crashing' of the cannibal banquet. Had they possibly have gotten a more prominent director of horror, though, I think "The Washingtonians" may have turned out a little better, tone-wise.
