There are times when I am just searching for some mindless
horror, and I was definitely in that mood Saturday afternoon. While part of me
wanted to take a nap, the other wanted to push through some homework. For some
background entertainment, I decided to throw on the 2004 indie entry Satan’s
Little Helper.
Plot/ A naïve young boy unknowingly becomes the pawn of a
serial killer.
Let me start by saying that this movie absolutely surprised
me. Honestly, I have no idea how many times I passed it over expecting
something miserable. While this is far from perfect, it was the right mix of
comedy and horror to keep me entertained throughout. Technically, the flick
works, featuring a decent cast, an interesting storyline, and many decent cinematographic
elements. Not to mention that Satan was perfect and his performance alone was a
hit. Sure, the ending seemed to drag on a bit and there could have been some
more blood, gore, and guts, but those flaws are to be expected in low budget
entries. In the end, this black comedy is entertaining and a good way to pass
some time getting into the Halloween spirit. It is definitely worth a shot; check
it out!
