Satan's Little Helper (2004, Jeff Lieberman)

"Satan's Little Helper" is an entertaining low-budget slasher. Not an extraordinary flick, by any means, but sustained my amusement for 90 minutes.

A little boy - obsessed with a Satan-themed video game - comes across a serial killer in a devil mask on Halloween. The kid thinks the silent murderer is just fashioning some realistically festive decorations, while he's actually killing all of the neighbors. He offers to assist his 'master' in his sadistic deeds - even proposing they target his sister's new boyfriend...

So yeah, it's a decent enough horror-comedy from Jeff Lieberman, of "Blue Sunshine" and "Squirm" fame. Little bit of gore and very brief T n' A. Of course, had it gone a little heavier with those elements, my 'grade' would be considerably higher. As is, "Satan's Little Helper" is an enjoyable enough Halloween slasher flick.
