Okay, it's a FAIR idea that maybe had a little promise IF, and I do mean IF, it was done well. I don't know what the hell happened to Jeff Lieberman, but he certainly should know WAY better than this.Very simple... If you just edit out all the stupid 'Dead Air', of which there is a bloody TON of it; say, bring the film down from a ridiculous 100 minutes (for THIS story, are you frigg'n kidding me?!) and chop out about at LEAST 20 minutes of nonsense, most of which where for absolutely NO reason what so ever, people are just standing around and staring and saying nothing for long, LONG periods of time. IF you were to do that, then MAYBE you would have a fun little entertaining film with some nice chilling touches a la a very, VERY low rent 'HALLOWEEN' I truly just cannot get my mind around the fact that Lieberman after all the experience that he has had, would be so incredibly dense as to completely RUIN the film by allowing all this useless footage that absolutely KILLS any momentum or sense of Horror at all.A very, Very, VERY stupid and pointless waste of what at least MIGHT have come close to the 5 1/2 stars that it is rated here.NO excuse...

I really can't describe how much angry i am right now as i have just wasted one and half hour watching this awful movie.This is really a waste of time watching these actors acting in such a silly way or not even close to acting.i hated the silly plot and the silly impressions they had delivered to anyone who saw this movie.And the scenes were not even logic to a mature human being, they are making fun of the audiences, actually i didn't know whether it was a funny movie to laugh at or a scary movie to get my attention.I think this little boy has performed his part in this low level movie pretty well as they will never get a silly boy as this one.After watching this movie i was really angry that i was about to forget the real acting, the acting that attract any audience to watch it.To some up this movie is really bad and a waste of time.

Writer/director Jeff Lieberman gives us some horror with more than a fair share of humor. Dougie(Alexander Brickel) is a 9-year-old boy obsessed with his favorite video hero game Satan's Little Helper and is exited about Halloween. His sister Jenna(Katheryn Winnick)is coming home to keep the tradition of 'trick-or-treating' with her little brother. Dougie is not impressed and a bit jealous that Jenna brought her new boyfriend Alex(Stephen Graham)with her. Dougie happens to meet a cool dressed guy and is sure that he is the "real" Satan. Immediately he begs to be his assistant. This little demon wants nothing more than to spook his friends and have Satan take them to hell. Oh yes, and to git rid of Alex. Satan goes about not saying a word, but his actions speak for him. Everyone is unaware that the man behind the mask is actually an escaped serial killer and he runs up a nice body count with ease. For working with a limited budget this film is surprisingly creepy and has decent special effects.

Jeff Lieberman's is a profound low-budget cult director who has made some unusual, but highly enthralling horror / sci-fi enterprises like; 'Blue Sunshine (1976)', 'Squirm (1976)', 'Just Before Dawn (1981)' and 'Control (1989)'. It's been a long time between drinks, but has he ever put a foot wrong. Lieberman returns with the wickedly macabre, but fun Halloween based psycho horror with a considerably dark funny bone; the straight-to-DVD 'Satan's Little Helper'. He does a great job blending together the sinister aspects (oh there are plenty moments that try to offend like trolley ramming in a car park) with the self-aware offbeat humour. No surprises for Lieberman fans. The plot (with a serial killer dressed up a costume going around a small island community randomly killing off people and then presenting the aftermath as some sort Halloween house decoration. Also nine-year-old Douglas gets tricked in to helping out this psychotic, when searching for his master Satan to cause mayhem; as he's dressed up as his favourite video game character - Satan's little helper) might be ludicrously shapeless and then somewhat calculatedly plotted in the dying stages, but throughout it's snappily paced (though it does get a bit bogged in the final third with things you see coming) and excessively violent with its ghoulish streak. Its an oddly cool concept, with a metaphorical touch of naïve and childhood innocence getting a twisted taste of manipulative evil where reality is being confused with fiction (video games causing a numbness to violence) and religion isn't discarded either. The performances are all played in a wry manner with a terrific chemistry among the cast; a wholesome Katheryn Winnick is delectable in her role, Amanda Plummer is spiritedly good and a truly bratty performance by Alexander Brickel. Joshua Annex dressed up in the devil suit (quite a vivid costume) gives an excellent performance, which was constructed around body language due to his character not speaking. Lieberman shows flair, but a surefooted tidiness with his minor budget, despite some very fluid moving photography. Refreshingly senseless and humorously gusty b-grade horror fodder right for the picking.
