In the darkly comedic horror film Little Evil, Adam Scott stars as Gary, a well-meaning everyman who has just married the woman of his dreams, the charming and optimistic Samantha, played by Evangeline Lilly. Gary is eager to start their new life together as a happy family, which includes Samantha’s enigmatic young son, Lucas. Gary’s attempts to bond with his new stepson, however, are met with increasingly bizarre and sinister events that suggest the boy might be more than just a moody child—he might be the literal Antichrist. As Gary desperately seeks help from a misfit support group for stepdads, led by a charismatic Tyler Labine, and encounters skeptical friends like Donald Faison, he is plunged into a chaotic battle for his sanity and his marriage. Directed by Eli Craig, this genre-blending tale masterfully mixes genuine scares with sharp humor, following Gary’s frantic quest to prove the terrifying truth and survive the ultimate test of fatherhood without losing his soul—or his new wife.
