It's always nice when you go into a movie expecting it to be shoddy at best and dreadful at worst, but end up really enjoying it; that's what happened to me with this one.
Zombies mixes the genres of ghost stories and zombies, and does it well: a recently widowed mother moves her two daughters to a house in the mountains which they inherited in her husband's will. The house is close to an old mine where many children died. At night the children come out to feed.
I was expecting a really low budget movie with weak actors but that wasn't the case at all. The effects are simple but effective and the plot well executed; characters have been well cast with the youngest daughter giving an oustanding performance. The film has some eery moments and a fair amount of gore. By no means is this is a classic but at under a fiver it is well worth a watch.

Firstly,lets get this straightened out, they are not zombies. I don't know why they used this title, I believe the US title is Wicked Little Things, which is far more fitting.
Now, misleading titles and cannabalistic gore aside (both if which are there just to compliment each other and don't really have a place in this film), this is actually quite a nice little ghost story for bedtime. If you can forgive the zombie faux pas, you will see that this film posesses all the nice qualities of a traditional bedtime ghost story. The plot is rather good, the visuals aren't bombarded with melodramatic music, it is quiet and gentle, with evil ghosts that you can sympathize with. It has the typical nightime scenes in the woods, old houses, old newspaper cuttings that tell the story of the children who worked in the mines. All these things are used well,and not overdone.
The gore is a bit too much, it is too obviously an attempt to gross you out, which is not needed. Personally, I feel that horror films have become so obsessed with being as gorey as possible, that cinema is really missing some good old fashioned ghost stories, this is one that I think is judged too harshly, okay, so it's not as good as the Orphanage, but it is worth watching.

i'm always looking for new zombie movie releases, i was quite excited when i found this one and decided to buy it. unfortunately i must say i was dissapointed, the story is a bit thin on the ground and the zombie action is limited, not a lot of gore either. most zombie movies you expect to see poor acting, stupid plotlines and loads of gore. they dressed this movie up as if it was a serious film. my advice is to go for a good romero if you want something with a bit more substance or a lucio fulci for something more light hearted and fun, not to mention cheaper. to be honest, i'm still waiting for world war z, come on plan-b, get it made.

This little piggy
A decent enough film with an interesting take on zombies. It manages to sustain tension throughout although it is not as scary as it could have been. Read more

Utter rubbish
A film renamed to 'Zombies' to try to milk some cash out of the industry. There are some dead kids down a mine that can still walk and talk as if they were alive. Read more

Different to most zombie movies
I liked this film a lot.
Sure there are horror movie cliches galore and it's very dark at times (as in difficult to tell what is going on), but there are many positive... Read more

Title is actually Zombies, wicked little things
Started off obvious, then a little twist made it more intrigueing. All in all a watchable movie, albeit just the once for me. 4/10

"Zombies" aka "Wicked Little Things"
It all starts quite promisingly with a familiar but workable premise: a mother and her children move to a new, strange place after a family tragedy. Read more

Why Zombies????
What was basically a good little run-of-the-mill story with vengeful ghosts was spoiled slightly by turning them into zombies (and flesh eating ones at that!! Read more
