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.

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. Go to Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst 07/17/2023

Irreverent, subversive and deliciously caustic, Satan's Little Helper is a unique and daring achievement, the type only independent films can deliver. Go to Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com 10/24/2008

Ray L Oct 5 I'd never seen this film before I absolutely loved it See more Carlos I May 28 Satan's Little Helper has, for some, become a bit of a Halloween staple, offering a fun enough ride into suburban dread and demonic mischief. While the film delivers on its quirky premise and dark humor, one persistent thorn in its side remains the titular "little helper." That kid, with his grating voice and incessant prodding, is so profoundly annoying that he often teeters on the edge of ruining the otherwise enjoyable, campy horror experience. See more Robson C 11/04/2024 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. See more Timothy P @timop1919 10/29/2024 The kid is so fucking annoying. Satan is fun but lose the kid. See more Fleegle B 04/10/2024 An awesome Halloween movie See more Andy S 08/12/2023 (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 See more Read all reviews
