Down to the wire, and racing for the home stretch! I almost fumbled the ball tonight, and yes, I realize that does mix a horse-racing metaphor with a fotball metaphor, and those two do not go well together. What I mean is, I almost couldn't find a movie to review this evening! :-o Luckily, someone had recommended another film to me earlier this month, that I hadn't actually reviewed yet.
Little Evil (2017) is a simple enough story. A stepdad is trying to bond with his new stepson. Unfortunately, the stepson has buried him out in the back yard, which, not only makes communicating difficult, but really puts a damper on the relationship. Communication really is key in these sorts of situations, mostly because, if he doesn't get some help before he runs out of air, he's dead!
This is a horror-comedy, fair warning. These is some horror to it, though, and it's not just a typical step-dad/step-son story. So let's recap the cast. Evangeline Lilly plays the mom. Adam Scott plays Gary, the stepdad. Sally Field and Clancy Brown are even in it. I especially loved Bridget Everett as AL. Most of the actors give pretty solid performances, but they got a bargain on the extras. I noticed several of them looking over at the camera during filming, which just surprised me, because the extras are usually better than that. This movie was pretty decent, a fair B-movie, and kind of funny. I wouldn't mind watching it again, but seeing it once gives you the general idea. Maybe they'll make a sequel!
In other news, I finished watching season 2 of Stranger Things. It was pretty good, around the same quality as the first season. Stranger Things is on netflix, so if you haven't watched it, yet, and you have access to netflix, go do that! I highly recommend it.
That's all for tonight. One more review to go! Happy Halloween to you guys, if you are too busy to check my blog tomorrow. :-)
