http://imdb.com/title/tt0470000/Plot Outline: Karen, Sarah, and Emma Tunney are all moving to a small town in Pennsylvania where, unknown to them, in 1913, a horrid mine accident trapped dozens of children alive, underground. But there's a problem. They're still alive.
This was one of the best horror movies I've seen in a decade. By FAR the best film of Horrorfest, and is WAY too good to go straight to DVD after this. This film needs a wide theatrical release! The kids were INSANELY CREEPY! Great plot, surprisingly gorgeous cinematography, great acting - Lori Heuring and Scout Taylor-Compton give strong, emotionally charged performances. This is not just some mindless, one dimensional slasher. This one's the real deal. The mine children looked and acted horrifying (easily the creepiest children ever filmed... they make Damien look like the kid from Home Alone) but you really sympathize with them too.
The shocks (classic zombie gore combined with supernatural what's-in-the-woods suspense) are balanced with the storyline and it all blends together nicely; nothing overwhelms and the movie never drags. Great pacing and editing.
I don't want to give too much away but horror fans, this is one you DON'T want to miss. I'm hoping it does well enough for some sequels, particularly following the child miner Mary Tunny.
With sub-par, mediocre "horror" flicks like "The Grudge 2" getting wide releases, here with "Wicked Little Things" we have a true horror masterpiece that needs a LOT more attention and fanfare. It's an instant classic and needs more attention and love.
