Plot
Recently widowed Karen Tunny and her two daughters, Sarah and Emma, move to a remote mountain home which Karen has inherited from the family of her late husband. However, she is unaware that the home is situated near an old mine, the site of an early 20th century tragedy in which many children were buried alive.

Jason's Thoughts
This was the final movie of the original eight that I got around to seeing, and much like a few of its processors, Wicked Little Things looked great in the previews but failed to execute as a full length feature.

The movie started out with a strong premise and some decent visuals of the early 1900s where children are being forced into working in coal mines due to their small statures. A few of these children are killed while being trapped in the mines and we then turn to present day.

From that point on, the movie crawls at a dreadfully slow pace and offers up very few scares along the way. In all seriousness, the movie, which is a tad over 90 minutes, felt like it was nearly three hours as it slowly progressed and went seemingly nowhere. Boring Little Things would be a more appropriate title for this film.

The cast may have helped set the boredom I felt as I found the main family to be highly unlikeable. In fact, I wouldn't have minded seeing them all be killed off one-by-one by the ghost/zombie children that were terrorizing the locals. Unfortunately, they all survived in the end. The "creepy" ghost/zombie kids didn't help matters much either.

As with a few other movies in this package, this one was forgettable. One might actually be better off just watching the trailer of this film and using their imagination to fill in the blanks. I guarantee it will be a lot better.
