Review of After Dark Horrorfest - Wicked Little Things

You don't really see After Dark Horrorfest films much anymore. I think there was a few last year apparently, but I'm not sure it has the same impact as it once did. This one has a very young Chloe Moretz which I didn't know. Also I hear two different things about this either being with ghosts or zombies. I'm hoping for the latter personally. I mean the cast does list people as zombie so I guess some people are just ignorant lol. I have only seen movies written by director J.S. Cardone which include Prom Night (remake), Stepfather (remake), and Covenant. None of which are particularly well received by anyone. Boaz Davidson though has a few pretty good action films under his belt included Undisputed 2 and Bunraku. It should be interesting to see a horror film from him. This is the only movie from writer Ben Nedivi though. Anyways let's see what kind of story this is and if it's any good.

Well that was disappointing to say the least. It moves fairly slow with not much happening until the last third of the film. Most of it is in heavy darkness and is way too quick to really have much of an impact. The twists were pretty obvious in my opinion. The ending was a bit dry. It has some decent moments though. It's not the worst thing I've seen, but for After Dark it's a huge disappointment.

The acting starts off pretty bad. Some get better while others just stay bad. The characters are a bit cliche and boring. The zombie kids reminded me of the vampires from 30 Days of Night. They are definitely the most unusual types of zombies I've seen. Chloe Moretz and the zomkids are the only interesting thing honestly.

It's a bit boring with most of the action that happens shrouded in darkness. The characters are typical and the acting doesn't improve them. I honestly didn't much care what happened after awhile. It's not the worst, but I was expecting more from After Dark. I guess you can't always have a winner. Pass on this one guys.
