Even Kids Started Small

About This Movie

Even Kids Started Small is this oddly unsettling horror piece that plays out within the walls of a school. It's not your typical classroom drama; there's an unsettling atmosphere that hangs in the air, amplified by the eerie quiet of the hallways. The pacing has a slow burn quality, letting tension build as students take control in a way that feels both empowering and sinister. The performances from the young cast are surprisingly nuanced, capturing a disquieting blend of innocence and malice. It’s the kind of film that toys with the concept of authority, flipping expectations on their head. Practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the film's raw edge. There's something distinctly off about the whole setup, and that’s what keeps you glued.
