Indie Gems: Wicked Little Things

All this month, Indie Gems will be horror films.

You either love or you hate the After Dark Horrorfest. Personally, I love it. Sure they distribute some truly bad horror movies (Hello, Penny Dreadful) but they also produce some gems. Wicked Little things, though a complete cliche at times is one of those gems in my opinion.

Karen, (Lori Heuring) and her two daughters, Sarah (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Emma (Chloe Grace Moretz) move out to a remote house in Pennsylvania that they have inherited. Years ago, many children were buried alive at a nearby mine. The neighbors warn them of the strange things that can happen, and of course little Emma (much like Moretz's character in the Amityville horror remake) befriends a ghost child. Then people start getting attacked. Karen and Sarah must save Emma.

I have to say that I really dig Scout Taylor-Compton and her string of horror movies. She was the one bright spot in Rob Zombie's God-awful Halloween remakes in my opinion. She's a real horror fan, and it shows in her performances. Plus she's got a killer scream. Wicked Little Things managed to be very creepy even though you could guess the ending a mile away. If your going to check out some of the films that have been part of After Dark's Horrorfest, I'd suggest this one. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining.
