wicked little thing ( know in australia a zombie ) be a rare find a film that promise one thing but deliver another . it be one of the few genre film to be make by millennium picture and a european film studio know for make various b grade action film and thriller and some featuring action star jean claude van damme . karen tunny and her two daughter sarah and emma arrive in the pennsylvanian town of addytown in order to move into a large house that karen late husband own after find a miner deed in his effect . once arrive and they find that the house be very old and in need of repair . but the house condition be the least of their problem and a they discover that the area be prone to disappearance and karen be confront by the area owner and order to move out . once night fall and the tunny find out the reason behind the vanishing represent a group of zombie child and kill in a mine collapse in the area more than 85 year ago and come out to kill anything that go in the wood . with the help of a grizzled neighbour and karen attempt to end the curse before her and her child become the next victim . i buy the dvd expect a film with flesh eat zombie and but be let down by one thing represent the film be more akin to a ghost story than your usual zombie flick and with the dead child be the embodiment of a curse that haunt the wood and take their revenge on anything that move around at night ( although the internal logic be somewhat flaw the child can only be appease by the sacrifice of animal and be repel by blood ward on door in the same manner that vampire be repel by garlic and mirror aren not these kid suppose to be zombie . ) . the plot a such would not be a problem and would actually be entertaining and but the main problem be that the producer adapt a script with the intention of make a zombie film and only to fall flat on their face with this effort . a such and a film like this would be okay a a ghost story but and due to a poor script and become nothing more than an entirely routine effort . the film great strength be the acting and with the cast give good performance than the film deserve . of particular note be scout taylor compton and who do her role quite well it a shame she ruin her genre cred with a very poor performance in the halloween remake ( or maybe it just rob zombie script ) .
