Plot: Jeff Lieberman, celebrated by horror film buffs for his imaginative cult favorites Squirm and Blue Sunshine, returns to filmmaking with this offbeat shocker. It's late October, and Douglas (Alexander Brickel), like most nine-year-olds, is looking forward to Halloween, especially trick or treating. Doug's mother (Amanda Plummer) has made him a costume based on a character from his favorite video game, Satan's Little Helper, and his big sister Jenna (Katheryn Winnick) will be home from college to collect candy with him. But Douglas is angry when Jenna's new boyfriend, Alex (Stephen Graham), tags along, and he soon ditches his sister to go trick or treating alone. While making the rounds, Douglas happens upon a serial killer (Joshua Annex) dressed up like a monster from his video game; Douglas admires the killer's grisly handiwork, and offers to act as his assistant, just like in the game. First Douglas leads the maniac to Alex, whom he soon kills, and then he brings him home, where Jenna and Mom think the masked killer is just Alex in his Halloween costume. Shot on digital video, Satan's Little Helper was screened at the {~2004 Tribeca Film Festival}. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Oddly-Paced Indie Flick Heads Above the Usual Straight-to-video Dreck
Added 10/8/2009

If you can get past the distractingly stupid kid (just tell yourself he's got special needs), this oddly-paced indie flick is heads above the usual straight-to-video Halloween horror dreck. Theres a decent body count, a few genuinely creepy moments (that Jesus mask is pure nightmare fuel!), and enough self-deprecating humor to keep the less-than-subtle message from being too self-consciously preachy. Poor kitty...

Creative Fun
Added 4/13/2009

I really enjoy this movie. In the world of non-ultra mainstream horror, I'd classify it along the lines of mid-budget, with decent sound/picture quality and good enough acting. The concept is fun though, and Satan plays an amusing role, as well as his final metamorphosis. Its not really gory at all, which is good at times, but good fun. Not especially scary at all, but an entertaining watch.

Screwed up HALLOWEEN Fun!!!
Added 3/30/2009

I remember receiving this as a Christmas present a few years ago. I re-watched it today, and I still like it. That Dougie kid is very annoying! The man dressed as Satan is pretty cool, because you never get to see who's behind the mask, he poisoned the punch at the HALLOWEEN dance. He also uses a shopping cart to run over pregnant women and blind guys! I love all the HALLOWEEN decorations and masks! If you love HALLOWEEN, slashers, and creepy masks, you should be SATAN'S LITTLE HELPER!!!
