On the afternoon of Halloween, Douglas Whooly (Alexander Brickel) dons his costume in expectation of a fun-filled night. But, when he hears that his beloved sister, Jenna (Katheryn Winnick), has found herself a boyfriend, he throws a tantrum and flees the house. Douglas befriends a man in a devil costume and helps him decorate his lawn with fake corpses. Unfortunately for Douglas and his family, the corpses -- much like the murders that will punctuate the evening to come -- are all too real.

Bloody Disgusting

Lieberman conically illustrates evil and its pull in storybook America; he uses a child to propose honest questions about the presence of something wicked in familiar surroundings.

Rated: 3/5

Even with the gore, the film gives an air of nostalgia.

We Who Walk Here

Writer-director Jeff Lieberman’s independent horror-comedy mixes morbid humor with buckets of blood and guts to produce a wickedly fun piece of Samhain entertainment.

Film Frenzy

The type of film where the plotting only works if the characters are complete imbeciles.

Rated: 1.5/4

Dread Central

Irreverent, subversive and deliciously caustic, Satan's Little Helper is a unique and daring achievement, the type only independent films can deliver.

Rated: 4/5

An uncompromisingly wicked, subjectively brave chiller practically crying out to be discovered.

Dougie é o maior fã do videogame Satan's Little Helper e ele resolve se fantasiar de Ajudante de Satã no Halloween. Andando pela cidade, ele vê um serial killer fantasiado de Diabo e ele acha que os assassinatos que ele comete são para decoração para a festa. Em um mistura na sua fantasia infantil, ele acha que ao mesmo tempo o assassino é Satã, mas também uma pessoa disfarçada que está se divertindo no Halloween, como no jogo. Ele se oferece para ser o seu ajudante como no filme e os dois partem pela cidade praticando uma variedade de maldades e assassinatos. A temática é tão idiota nesse filme onde uma criança possa se associar a um assassino serial porque ele está vestido de demônio e está repetindo o jogo que ela é fã, que, sinceridade, nem como crítica a videogames que valorizam o jogador a praticar atos escusos, dá para engolir. O roteiro é horrível, com os diálogos mais ridículos que já vi. O elenco é qualquer nota e olha que tem a atriz Amanda Plummer (que decadência). Já vi personagens terem ideias péssimas mas este filme é campeão. O único ponto positivo é o ator que se veste de demônio, que consegue conquistar o público, sem dizer uma só palavra, expressando por sinais e usando uma máscara de borracha que não lhe permite nenhuma expressão facial.

(I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I love this movie!) The movie is a wonderful mix of horror and dark comedy, and the movie never really takes itself too serious

As much as I like Amanda Plumber, this movie isn't the best. The little pudgy kid is super annoying and looks like he should be a little psycho chartered accountant. It is hard to have any sympathy for his twit sister and her trendy-looking boyfriend. The talents of Amanda Plumber are wasted in this one. If you need something for background filler, this could work though...

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
