Little Evil

• Horror
• Comedy

A wryly affectionate horror comedy, *Little Evil* subverts the demonic-child trope by focusing not on apocalyptic terror, but on the mundane frustrations of new step-parenthood. Gary, a charmingly hapless man, navigates the bewildering world of kindergarten and soccer practice while suspecting his stepson is, in fact, the Antichrist. The film leans into a genuinely warm, if increasingly unsettling, dynamic between Gary and the boy, crafting a surprisingly relatable portrait of a man striving for connection amidst increasingly bizarre circumstances. Instead of escalating dread, the humor stems from the clash between suburban anxieties and demonic prophecy, culminating in a Halloween showdown that’s more awkward than terrifying. This isn't a possession story; it’s a story about acceptance, and finding family in the most unexpected places, built around a comedic exploration of parental anxieties.
