Its ambiguous mythology helps lower expectations, resulting in a surprisingly effective experience that will leave viewers guessing.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

Cardone's supernatural thriller is an utterly derivative and clich offering...

Neither this nor that, Zombies (aka Wicked Little Things) offers up a creaky old forest-load of horror cliches but never quite sees the wood for the trees.

Feels like something that was written, shot and glued together over the course of one drab and uneventful weekend.

Rated: 2/5

Johnny Butane

Dread Central

It is a fun undead romp with very attractive girls, creepy kids, and a good amount of the ole dark and chunky. If that's all you want out of it, you won't be disappointed.

Rated: 3/5

Wicked Little Things sets itself up to be a decently tense little thriller - but it's unimaginative execution of little kids killed in the mines back in the day just doesn't pull through. Think B grade Hallmark Horror.

Most boring and lifeless (no pun intended) "zombie" movie ever. Might scare you if you're not used to the genre at all.

I've seen better AND worse killer-kid movies. It has some good names and a pretty creepy vibe... and that's good enough for me.
