Mirroring the events in the first season of the anime, The Promised Neverland stays true to the overall plot of all 12 episodes, which covers the discovery of an orphanage’s deadly secret to the execution of a grand escape plan. The result is a faithful, respectable adaptation of its manga-slash-anime counterpart of the same name, topped off with a great music score and impressive cinematography, that’s unfortunately weighed down by issues of racebending and errant miscasting. Yuichiro Hirakawa’s The Promised Neverland isn’t quite bold enough to explore an alternative plot or setting, instead choosing to adapt from the source material, and retains the core parts of it.
How does one strike a balance between canonical elements and narrative freedom?

On the Japanese side of things, the notion is perhaps more optimistic, buoyed by the likes of Rurouni Kenshin, Koe no Katachi ( A Silent Voice), and Let Me Eat Your Pancreas, but the difficulty of such an undertaking remains a constant – to what extent should a live-action anime movie introduce original content? My vote is four.Live-action anime adaptations are a very tricky affair, with a less-than-positive track record doing little to inspire faith within the community, especially when it comes to Hollywood-helmed projects that take on a westernised spin on things ( Dragon Ball and Netflix’s Death Note, anyone?). When Sarah is running away with her mother and says that she is tired and cannot run anymore, it is one the most stupid lines that I have ever seen in a horror movie. There is no explanation why the children attacked innocent people and why they should stop after killing Mr. Carlton comes to the place with the most disgusting attitudes, a typical clichés that he will die in the end. But when she arrives, coincidently the little zombies attack people without any consequences, for example, families do not search the missing persons. The beginning is reasonable, with a widow moving to a house in a remote location because the family spent all their resources with the illness of the patriarch. However, the story, and consequently the screenplay, are very weak, indeed a bad collection of clichés. "Wicked Little Things" is not a totally bad movie: the acting is good the make-up is creepy and the cinematography and the music score are excellent. However, when Sarah's friends are attacked and eaten alive by zombie children and Emma vanishes, Karen and Sarah chase her nearby the mine. When Emma becomes friend of Mary, he mother believes she is an imaginary friend. Karen is advised by her neighbors to stay at home in the night, and Sarah hears that there are zombies in the area. Without any money, she moves with her daughters Sarah (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Emma (Chloe Moretz) to an old house in the mountains that belonged to her husband. On the present days, Karen Tunny (Lori Heuring) has just lost her husband after a long period of terminal disease when the family savings have been spent in the treatment. In 1913, in Carlton Mine, Addytown, Pennsylvania, the cruel owner of a mine uses poor children in the exploration and after an explosion, a group of children is buried alive.
