Little evil

"Little evil"

Watched English movie "Little evil". This movie is directed by Eli Craig. It is produced by Scott Stuber and Jason Michael Berman. It stars Adam Scott as Gary, Evangeline Lilly as Samantha, Oven Atlas as Lucas and Bridget Everett. It was released in 2017 and is one hour 21 minutes long.

Gary marries Samantha. She has a son, Lucas, almost six years old. Gary tries to bond with Lucas. But he is a wired child and tries to bury Gary alive. Gary is convinced that Lucas is an anti Christ. 

Why did Lucas try to kill Gary? Is Lucas Anti Christ? Should he kill Lucas? Can Gary bond with him? 

This film is basically about the love between a father and his step son. But it also has cult,  Satan worship, rituals and what not. 

Rather than making a horror film, director has tried to create a blend of comedy and horror with sprinkling of emotions. In doing so he ends up neither here nor there. The movie comes out like a Jack of all trades....

Acting by all actors is acceptable. I did not understand director's objective of casting Bridget as a Dad. It appears odd and does not serve any purpose. 

The movie also indirectly promotes Satan worship and recognizes existence of Satan. But what happens to Satan is left hanging without answer. In all this melee, the real deal of love between father and son takes a back seat. 

AVOID.
