Baby Blues (also known as Cradle Will Fall)[1] is a 2008 American horror film co-directed by Lars Jacobson and Amar Kaleka, loosely based on the 2001 killings of five children by their mother Andrea Yates, although the film is set in the 1980s.
[2] Set on a secluded family farm, a mother (Colleen Porch) suffers a psychotic breakdown due to postpartum depression and after her husband, a truck driver, hits the road after only being home a day, she snaps, walking away with the baby to an upstairs bedroom.
Jimmy (Ridge Canipe), the eldest son, trying to keep his younger brother and sister calm, starts cleaning up, but decides to check on his mother and discovers the horrible truth.
Jimmy manages to survive until his father arrives back after hearing him on a radio transmission.
The film was released on August 5, 2008 in the United States and was subject to mediocre reviews, often criticising the mother's dialogue but praising the acting.
