...a Swedish male name. Original, flattering and out of space how nice this piece is. The allegiance to the genuine. A God and a genius must have written and produced this flick. Should win an Oscar! The traditional "guy-saves-fairy-mom" role set rocked and the compensatory roles just hit the base. For sure. Dead serious.

It is alright but for a horror movie, this is bad for what I would expect for a horror movie. This is like "This Is The End," which is not that good either. This is the end movie, is better than this in comedy but that was more disgusting in comedy, than it was funny.I hate when comedy is considered stupid and people actually think it is funny. It is not funny at all. I think horror is more like slashers, and the action or disturbing over the top gore, is a lot better than this. So for those liking this is a little much. I prefer to rate this low on Netflix and get better stuff to watch.Good luck on this content, but to me it is terrible to my liking of horror movie. 4 stars for interesting but nothing more.

I watched just 15 seconds of the trailer and knew I will absolutely love this movie. As it's obvious from the other reviewers, they expected a true slasher horror with demons and exorcism(lol, I guess they did not watch the trailer) and do not have a sense of humor. Yes, I said,it. Anyone not giving this fun movie at least a 6 just doesn't have a sense of humor - so why watch a comedy movie in the first place?? It was scarry, it was funny, it was great acting and story. I wish there would be more movies like this,instead of the same-boring-horror flicks with the same script( hey, I think SAW 18 is coming out, people with no sense of humor should see that one).I like dark humor and I give this movie a 9.

Little Evil is the latest horror comedy by Tucker and Dale vs Evil director Eli Craig. Considering how enjoyable the previous movie was, and seeing that Little Evil was taking a similar route, we figured it was a pretty safe bet. Unfortunately maybe it was just a little too safe.Little Evil plays on the evil child horror trope, complete with callbacks to The Omen, Poltergeist, and even The Shining. Gary has married the beautiful Sam, punching a little bit above his weight, and moved in with her and her child Lucas (Lucas > Lucius > Lucifer, get it?). Unfortunately bonding between Gary and Lucas doesn't go so well, as Lucas starts to show worrying signs of the supernatural and satanic. Turns out Lucas is the antichrist, and Gary is the only one to really notice or care.On the more serious side, Little Evil explores what it's like from a stepfathers point of view, or really father in general. It uses the horror and comedy aspects to play up and emphasise the difficulty some men have relating to their children, blood or otherwise. It spins the idea that stepdads are always the guilty party on it's head, and I found that refreshing. It also plays around with themes of nature vs nurture. Sure Lucas was born the antichrist, but does he have to be? Can he break that and be whoever he wants to be? This last point it hammers home a little sappier and more sentimental than I maybe would've liked, but this is what I mean about the film maybe playing it a little too safe.Little Evil resists any opportunity to break the mould or push the envelope. It sticks inside it's quite safe parameters resulting in being not all that funny and not all that scary. There's virtually no gore at all, and the short glimpses of creepiness we get lack conviction. The humour is fairly run-of-the-mill and suffers from overplaying jokes a little too much. Sam is oblivious to her child's creepy habits for too long, and Al is only really funny because she's a woman pretending to be a man. For a dark comedy, it's not all that dark or controversial either. They're the kind of jokes you'd expect in any mainstream American comedy. That's not to say I didn't like Little Evil though. It is enjoyable, and did earn a number of chuckles from me. Unfortunately I've found it very hard to review because, less than twenty-four hours later, I can barely remember it, and that's not a particularly great sign. It rides on the coattails of Tucker and Dale's success, but never quite hits the same mark. It plays it safe, preventing it from being a bad movie, but also preventing it from reaching the potential the trailer offered. I give it an enjoyable but vanilla 6/10.
