The Little Things

About This Movie

The Little Things is this fascinating deep dive into the psyche of those who hunt monsters. Deke Deacon, played by Denzel Washington, carries this heavy past—a palpable weight that seeps into every scene. The chemistry with Rami Malek's Baxter is interesting, especially as they unravel a case full of tension and dread. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating at times, thanks to the grainy cinematography and haunting score. It doesn’t rush through its narrative, letting the suspense build slowly. The themes of obsession and the haunting nature of past failures linger long after the credits roll. Practical effects aren't overused, but the gritty realism adds a layer of authenticity that works well with the performances, especially from Jared Leto, who embodies a chilling presence throughout.
