John Chard on Wicked Little Things

4/10 · Nov 2, 2014

The film concerns a widow and her daughters who relocate to a family property and find themselves subjected to frightening encounters with children linked to a past tragedy at the nearby Carlton mine. It becomes clear almost immediately that viewers will be challenged to accept certain actions and motivations of the characters. The mourning mother chooses to settle herself and her daughters in what appears to be a remote, dilapidated house, and it’s evident from the beginning that something isn't right in this area. The plot follows a familiar path of vengeance from beyond the grave, but the environment significantly enhances the movie, despite shortcomings in the central narrative. A foreboding forest, decaying buildings, and the looming threat of the mine disaster all contribute to the unsettling atmosphere. The children are portrayed as spirits who consume flesh, whether it's human or animal, making "zombie film" a misleading label for the marketing campaign. The ghostly children themselves are effectively disturbing—pale-skinned with dark eyes—and they’re genuinely creepy. A subdued visual style and deliberate pacing enhance the overall mood. The actors deliver acceptable performances, though they are hampered by poor dialogue and extended scenes that seem intended to pad out the film's length. A romantic subplot involving the eldest daughter also feels unnecessary and like filler material. It isn't a particularly frightening movie, but it is enjoyable enough, largely due to its atmosphere and setting. It earns a rating of 4/10.
