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

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.

Little Evil is quite original in the way it combines elements of horror and comedy to produce a story that is altogether heartwarming.

Its tough for a Movie to poke fun at society and pull it off. This movie plays with the relationship between step parents and step kids, what is love and what are you willing to do for those you love. Is it unconditional love for some one else's kid? Are they your kid now? Making this a horror comedy is pure gold. Brilliant film makers here making us think!

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
