Evil Little Things

The first story with the leprachan doll....how many countless horror and tv movies have been made where the doll is alive ? since the early 1960s....movie is a terrible waste of time...

That's totally the worst movie of 2019 or maybe of whole 2010s decade, still not sure. Everything was wrong with this film. Acting was so poor like 0.3/10, even school boys and girls would act much better than all the crew in this film. About plot. Well there was no plot, it was just lack thing about dolls and that's all. Effects and filming... Oh Gosh... I can't even describe how cringe it was to watch it... It was released in 2019 and even "POTATO" camera would film better than this. Effects were hideous. There was nothing good about this "film". The only horror I saw was how hideous this movie is. Don't watch and save yourself from this piece of crap.

If it was made in better quality and better acting, it could actually be a good movie. But im judging as is...just bad....the only reason I gave it 2 stars was the because of the ending.

Also no pun intended either - there are so many horror movies out there. Is it necessary to watch this one? I reckon it will depend ... like if you see someone in this that you are a fan of. Be it Gremlins Zach or anyone else. Yes there are some recognizable faces here - they all need money too.

That all being said, the short stories in between are kind of fun. Especially because the movie is not that long in the first place. Some evil little things do happen during that short run time too ... well told - or at least decently. Especially considering the low budget this must have had.

Sometimes I do wonder if there is more to say than what I already did. And then I remember that I will not be the only one with that issue. Hey Imdb needs these to be a bit longer to seperate themselves from other sites I reckon - so we'll do them that favor.

The story about the leprechaun is probably the longest of the two shorts that make up the body of the film. It is a cute story, it isn't really scary but it has a very creepy atmosphere that permeates the story. It does seem to take longer than necessary to tell, and the horror elements are kinda minimal. Still the killer leprechaun doll used is creepy as it gets and it ends with the classic twisted ending we all love about classic anthology series.

The second of the stories deals with an evil porcelain doll that has a jealous streak fed by the demonic. It is a pretty familiar tale, but still it is told nicely. It is a bit shorter than the first and there is a little bit more horror in this one. Mostly paranormal-esque gimmicks and occult themes toward the end. I was crazy about the choice of voice for the Patty doll but she looks evil. Plus the story had another wicked little ending.

The wraparound is my favorite story. It is classic "Creepshow" style storytelling. The first half plays as your basic set up for the two middle stories, but it starts out with a hint of domestic violence. The second half is the fun part, and although it is short it has the most horror in the anthology. Plus a clown doll that goes all demony is always a treat.

Overall "Evil Little Things" is a cute horror anthology. I do enjoy a bit more horror in the films, but I did appreciate the throwback feel of the stories. Plus I am a sucker for evil, creepy doll movies. "Evil Little Things" will find a fan base, it is pretty PG so hardcore splatter/gore fans may not get it, but check it out and decide for yourself.
