It is obvious that the director intended to include every possible bad horror movie cliché as some sort of post-modern wink to horror audiences, but, there is a reason that people criticize movies that use these clichés. Possible spoiler alert1. Rural characters that know about killer zombies, but still live there. 2. Stupid teenagers getting high, doing stupid things, making bad decisions and then becoming cannon fodder. 3. A film set in a specific region that has a specific accent, but the characters speak in some sort of generic southern hill accent that bears no relation to where the movie is set. And the architecture is very unwestern Pennsylvania as well. 4. Car gets stuck in mud. 5. Flashlight only works sporadically. 6. Kid has imaginary friend that is supernatural in origin. 7. Against all logic, people go searching in dangerous places where many people have died, alone, at night, with that great anti-ghoul device, the sporadically working flashlight. 8 Teenage girl trips when running. 9. Truck won't start. 10. People keep shooting at zombies, instead of running away, even though they have observed that bullets have little effect. 11. At the end of the movie, the main characters are barely touched by their experience, driving away happily to their next phase, even though they have clear proof of the supernatural and they have watched several people mutilated including a boyfriend. Their neighbor will clean everything up, and there will be no downstream consequences of several people dying, including friends.Argggh.

This movie as been on my watch list for some times, like so many other movies, I gave it go as it was on Netflix.The movie dose not start off that bad at all, I actually the opening from the movie was really good,.With in the first ten min, I was actually thinking this could turn out to be good. However it's didn't last long, as I found the movie to very bland for most parts.I found the movie to very slow in parts, it dose pick up again in later part of the movie. I didn't really find anything that scary or creepy, I was expected to see some fake scarce scenes in this movie,I not even sure if that good or bad thing. Well there movie had some okay-ish death scenes, some gory moments in this movie.The acting was decent form the whole cast. 3 out of 10

An owner of a mine uses child slaves, and after an explosion, a group are buried alive. Flash ward a few years and Karen Tunny has just lost her husband due to terminal illness. Without any money, she moves with her daughters to the old house in the mountains that belonged to her husband. She is advised by her neighbours to stay at home during the night, and there are stories of zombies in the area. When Her youngest becomes friend with Mary, her mother believes she is an imaginary friend. However, when her other daughters friends are attacked and eaten by zombie children and Her youngest vanishes. She decides to make the film a little more interesting...Despite the okay cast, this has to be one of the most boring and mundane things I've endured in such a long time.Banging doors, jump scares and freaky kids are all here, and don't forget the young girl who can speak to the dead. The guy from Chariots of Fire looks severely unimpressed by his choice of career, and of course, there's some bad guy who wants to build a ski slope.It's all a little bit Scooby Doo come the end, and it doesn't help that the kids look like French Mimes.I was waiting for one of them to pretend to be stuck behind an imaginary mirror.Pants.

Having spent all of her money caring for her terminally ill spouse, recently widowed Karen Tunny (Lori Heuring) moves with her two daughters Sarah (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Emma (Chloe Moretz) to her late husband's run-down family home in rural Pennsylvania, where local legends speak of zombies who roam the woods at night.Just seeing the names of this film's writer and director in the opening credits was enough to send shivers up my spine: Boaz Davidson is the 'genius' responsible for penning the scripts for such STV titles as Octopus 1 & 2, Spiders and Crocodile, whilst J.S. Cardone gave us the godawful 'video nasty' The Slayer and dull vampire flick The Forsaken. With such dubious talent responsible, I didn't expect much from Wicked Little things.And having just finished the film, I'm glad I kept my expectations low.Although the movie looks good at times, with lovely use of the eerie woodland locale, and the cast give reasonable performances given the clichéd drivel that they are working with, the plot is so laboured, poorly written, and derivative that it's impossible to be enthusiastic about. Most importantly, perhaps, the film's killers, undead children who rise each night from the mine in which they died, aren't in the least bit scary, a smudge of makeup, black contacts and some crappy joke shop scars doing very little to add to the sense of menace. Scout Taylor-Compton and company do their best to look afraid of the tiny terrors, screaming convincingly with every confrontation, but their admirable attempts to instill a sense of fear in the audience is to little avail: the little blighters just ain't got what it takes to chill the blood.There are a few lacklustre zombie chow scenes in a futile bid to win over gore-hounds, and the final kill, which sees the victim's blood drench both Compton and Heuring, is suitably tasteless, but on the whole, Wicked Little Things (AKA Zombies in the UK) is instantly forgettable trash—just another clunker in the filmographies of Cardone and Davidson.
