This is another one of my FEARnet finds and I thought it was pretty good. It's a combination of a zombie movie and a ghost story movie all rolled into one. It's not your standard zombie apocalypse type of movie and these are not your mindless, run-of-the-mill zombies. They're zombies with a vengeance.
Back in the day children were used in mines in this rural Pennsylvania town. As if that wasn't bad enough, the guy that owned the mines was a total douche and decided to blow the tunnels with the children still in them. Nice, huh? Yeah, well, the kids didn't think so either. Nearly a hundred years later stories haunt the local town about zombie children that come out at night to eat the flesh of the living. But they're more goal-oriented than that. They want revenge. They want the blood of the guy that buried them alive. And they just may get it in a relative down the channel.
Wicked Little Things has the ambiance of a ghostly movie and the relative grossness of a zombie movie. It's not over the top and it's more about mood and scares than the gore factor which is a giant plus in my book. For a different type of zombie movie, one that might actually scare you, Wicked Little Things might just be the one to do it.

I think I was married to one of those rural PA zombies! Why are all the douce bags from rural PA? LOL
Sounds great. Added to my Netflix instant queue.
I saw this one. I really enjoyed it!
My partner is a horror blogger, so I have suffered / enjoyed / scared myself stupid through many horror movies. I haven't heard of this one though, and it sounds pretty good - I'm a big fan of genuine scares over gore too. Thanks for the heads up.
It is a pretty decent movie. Some cheese in it but I think that's to be expected in horror. But it's nice because it's pretty light on the gore and heavy on the spooks.
Lauren, what's your partner's blog?
This movie looks awesome! I love all things zombie...what a great spin on the usual story:-)
