Director John Lee Hancock is notable for feel good biographical dramas like The Blind Side and Saving Mr. Banks but takes a different route in his latest film, the serial killer psychological drama The Little Things. Hancock has been trying to make the movie for about 30 years and while he insists he wrote the script before Seven, this still feels like a limp wristed Seven clone. Still, the trio of main actors in Things elevates the proceedings. For a serial killer movie, it doesn’t really have many big scares. It settles on being vaguely unsettling and has a different ending that may be aiming for morally ambiguous and subversive but mostly just comes off as somewhat unsatisfying. The Little Things has short bursts when the creepiness does feel creepy although other times it just feels like a generic murder procedural but with higher caliber actors than on network TV.
