Review – Wicked Little Things

As proven by The Brood, Children of the Corn, and several other productions, if you’re going to make children into the monsters in a horror movie, you have to really work at it. And this one doesn’t put in anywhere near the required effort. The evil kids in question are the restless zombies of children killed in a coal mine, a theme that might have been used to good advantage. The woody, hilly locations are occasionally kinda cool. Ben “Chariots of Fire” Cross turns in a lackluster performance as the old hillbilly who keeps the beasts at bay by serving up live pigs for them to munch on. But nothing in the production overcomes the fact that the monsters here are zombie kids, and they’re just flat out not that scary. Mildly amusing
