Relative Fear is a 1994 Canadian psychological horror film written by Kurt Wimmer and directed by George Mihalka.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Two infants are Switched at Birth, and a normal middle-class couple, Linda (Darlanne Fluegel) and Peter Pratman (Martin Neufeld), unknowingly find themselves raising the biological son of a violent, insane criminal. The boy, Adam (Matthew Dupuis), is diagnosed with autism, and at age four he shows little responsiveness aside from a talent for art. But he also displays an unnerving preoccupation with violence, and it isn't long before anyone who does anything to offend him starts turning up dead.

The Bully: Manny, an older boy who takes piano lessons from Linda, force-feeds Adam dirt, then tells Linda, "I kept telling him not to put that dirt in his mouth, but he wouldn't listen!" Naturally, he's found shot in the head while playing with Adam. His death is deemed to be an accident caused by playing with his father's gun.

comment
Creepy Child: Adam's face is mostly blank, except when he narrows his eyes creepily at people who've pissed him off. He also loves watching the true crime channel National Murder Network, which broadcasts graphic details and gory reenactments of recent murders, despite Linda's attempts to ban it from the house.
