Synopsis
Little Evil (2017) is Eli Craig's horror comedy, free to watch online on iFILM. Gary has finally married Samantha, the woman of his dreams. The package deal is her six-year-old son Lucas, who won't say a word and has a stare that curdles milk.
From there the tabloid-horror omens pile up fast: goats keel over, neighbors meet ugly ends, and a puppet at the school play recites lines no kid should know. Gary joins a support group for stepdads where the men swap genuinely grim notes on living with little demons. His situation tops them all, because the boy might literally be the Antichrist. Adam Scott plays Gary as a decent guy desperate to be a good father and stubbornly refusing to read the signs. Evangeline Lilly's Samantha is blinded by a mother's love, while Bridget Everett steals scenes as the butch stepdad Al.
The director of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil grabs another genre template, The Omen this time, and twists it into a comedy about parenting. Ninety-five minutes where the scares land funny and a surprisingly warm idea hides underneath. Stream Little Evil (2017) online on iFILM.
