We came up with the idea of the little girl character as we were all familiar with it, after having seen it in other horror/thrillers. An example is the little girl in the horror/thriller 'REC'.
We thought this character would be effective in creating tension and suspense. The age-stage of the character provides a sense of innocence about her but, in our thriller, the altered, after-life version of the girl raises questions for the audience, such as what is she capable of? does she have sinister intentions?
Excellent reference to a real media text. You could also consider some older films that utilise that same character.
