Satan's Little Helper (2004)

Satan’s Little Helper: Directed by Jeff Lieberman. With Alexander Brickel, Katheryn Winnick, Stephen Graham, Amanda Plummer. A naive young boy unknowingly becomes the pawn of a serial killer.

“Satanu0026#39;s Little Helper arrived just in time for the Halloween holiday and was perfectly fitting. It certainly has the Lieberman stamp of dark humor all over it. This is Jeff Liebermanu0026#39;s first genre offering in a long time (since 1987u0026#39;s underrated Remote Control) and itu0026#39;s a nice welcome back. Lieberman has loaded this thing with satire. It seems he has a lot to say about video games and parental unawareness. It could come off as heavy handed if he werenu0026#39;t having a blast poking fun at it. Hereu0026#39;s the plot: Dougieu0026#39;s favorite game is Satanu0026#39;s Little Helper and heu0026#39;s dressed as such for Halloween. In the game, you follow Satan around and help him murder and plunder and such. Dougie happens across a serial killer dressed like a devil and, staying true to his favorite game, follows him around and lends a helping hand. Itu0026#39;s very funny in the u0026quot;should I be laughing at this?u0026quot; sense. There are many moments and one-liners that would have made me spew milk from my nose if I were drinking milk at the time. This movie is definitely not for everyone, but it will surely get more laughs than scares. I would classify Satanu0026#39;s Little Helper as a Halloween guilty pleasure.”
