There is certainly a market and cult classic crowd welcoming Evil Little Things with open arms. I'm most impressed by the imaginative storytelling by writers Bakhtiari and Knight, seconded by the film being Bakhtiari's first credited film as a writer and executive producer, which you could not tell from the production quality and story. You really get to feel a passion for storytelling with this one, even if it isn't completely well-rounded.
Courtney Lakin carries the bulk of the acting talent here, but there is no listed Casting Director and I think that is where this film slips the most. Moments are off-beat or missed entirely by most of the cast and although there are genuinely creepy moments, some others just can't help but to seem funny.
The set ups and pacing of the story could of used some refining, but again, we're discussing a debut feature film here for the writer/executive producer.
Overall, an impressive accomplishment! Anyone working in this industry realizes how difficult of a task it can be to write / fund / produce a full length feature film, even more so without prior experience. You can find First Attempts all over Amazon Prime, but do they not share the visual quality of Evil Little Things. So thumbs up to Roman Weaver as well. Keep an eye on the double-threat Bakhtiari as an executive producer and writer if this is what she is capable putting together right out of the gate.
