Nothing really ingenious happens, it's all merely a run and hide affair with the two demonic brats bringing down the adults at every turn. With the bad sound in the film, the annoyance of the screaming is induced two fold and the terror is lagging. Nichols relies heavily on his cast to sell the material where the budget can't, and there's a ton of improvisation that never quite works as well as one hopes. The cast all seem to really try their damndest with their roles, but the script can't salvage their characters much, so we don't feel too much pity for them when they're being systematically tortured and killed off. "Bread Crumbs" could have been one horrific twist on a grimm fairytale, but as it stands it's merely a mediocre humdrum affair.

Ultimately one big waste of time, "Bread Crumbs" has real potential to be a harrowing and terrifying twist on a classic fairytale but instead is just a hokey and tedious bit of low budget fodder that definitely won't re-invent the wheel any time soon.
