A newly married man starts to believe that his 5-year-old stepson is the spawn of Satan.

Karen Han

The Verge

Little Evil has a little [Edgar] Wright-style cleverness: the movie's big chase sequence is between Gary and a demon, but the demon isn't some horrific monster - it's Lucas' beloved goat puppet, Reeroy.

The Hollywood Outsider

Little Evil is Omen by way of Shaun of the Dead. The tone, editing, and direction are all on par for what an audience enjoys in a horror-comedy.

Rated: 7.5/10

Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)

Scott brings plenty of humor to the classic role of a seriously concerned stepdad. But it is once he actually starts pursuing the idea that Lucas actually might be the Antichrist that things get even funnier.

... the film channels the anxieties and fears of fatherhood - in this particular case, step-fatherhood - by asking what would happen if your new wife's kid was actually the antichrist.

Netflix's Little Evil is a surprisingly sweet, rather - dare I say it? - cute, horror comedy that injects heart into the "spawn of Satan" genre.

New stepdad Gary (Adam Scott) wrestles with connecting with his wife's (Evangeline Lilly) son. It gets even harder when he realizes the quiet young lad is the son of Satan. Comedy isn't my thing, really. For whatever it's worth I didn't find this very humorous. I did enjoy the dad therapy group but it doesn't spoof Omen as well as Shaun of the Dead did Night of the Living Dead. It was my first time seeing Brad Williams, who has a small part. I've since seen some of his reels and find him hilarious.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I've never written a movie review before; this movie, however, deserves it. It's laugh-out-loud funny and a true gem. I was not expecting it. Horror/comedy can be hard to pull off. No, it's not a gore-fest or slasher pic; it's a comedic take on The Omen. FYI.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Little Evil ist eine übernatürliche Horrorkomödie von Eli Craig… Gary, der gerade Samantha, die Frau seiner Träume, geheiratet hat, entdeckt, dass ihr sechsjähriger Sohn Antichrist sein könnte… Eine durchgeknallte Horror Satire gemischt mit einer Liebeskomödie zwischen dem bösen Stiefsohn und der Ehefrau… Es werden "Das Omen" und verschiedene Stephen-King-Geschichten herrlich auf den Armgenommen…

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
