Review of Satan's Little Helper (2005) by Daniel T — 04 Jan 2010
This is suprisingly creepy and entertaining despite the budget that is below SyFy Channel standards. There's no premo gore here, just a bunch of suspense and some really fucked up character dynamics.
Check out this little bastard kid who befriends a serial killer cuz he thinks he is "satan" or a demon of sorts and he wants to help satan kill people, including some people he doesn't like.
In terms of story this is definitely worth it compared to mindless slasher fare. I mean at least I was engaged with what characters were doing so as to appreciate all the implied themes, and not waiting for the next "gotcha" kill to serve as a cheap thrill.
On Netflix instant watch and considering the low level of decent horror on Netflix IW, this should work in a snap for a weekend night's intoxicated horror marathon.
