[on cell-phone handset] That's why I was calling you: I *do* have a costume! I'm putting together this Carmen-Miranda-and-Chiquita-Banana-type thing. It came to me in a dream. Actually, I *was* stoned.

Jeff Lieberman's is a profound low-budget cult director who has made some unusual, but highly enthralling horror / sci-fi enterprises like; 'Blue Sunshine (1976)', 'Squirm (1976)', 'Just Before Dawn (1981)' and 'Control (1989)'. It's been a long time between drinks, but has he ever put a foot wrong. Lieberman returns with the wickedly macabre, but fun Halloween based psycho horror with a considerably dark funny bone; the straight-to-DVD 'Satan's Little Helper'. He does a great job blending together the sinister aspects (oh there are plenty moments that try to offend like trolley ramming in a car park) with the self-aware offbeat humour. No surprises for Lieberman fans. The plot (with a serial killer dressed up a costume going around a small island community randomly killing off people and then presenting the aftermath as some sort Halloween house decoration. Also nine-year-old Douglas gets tricked in to helping out this psychotic, when searching for his master Satan to cause mayhem; as he's dressed up as his favourite video game character - Satan's little helper) might be ludicrously shapeless and then somewhat calculatedly plotted in the dying stages, but throughout it's snappily paced (though it does get a bit bogged in the final third with things you see coming) and excessively violent with its ghoulish streak. Its an oddly cool concept, with a metaphorical touch of naïve and childhood innocence getting a twisted taste of manipulative evil where reality is being confused with fiction (video games causing a numbness to violence) and religion isn't discarded either. The performances are all played in a wry manner with a terrific chemistry among the cast; a wholesome Katheryn Winnick is delectable in her role, Amanda Plummer is spiritedly good and a truly bratty performance by Alexander Brickel. Joshua Annex dressed up in the devil suit (quite a vivid costume) gives an excellent performance, which was constructed around body language due to his character not speaking. Lieberman shows flair, but a surefooted tidiness with his minor budget, despite some very fluid moving photography. Refreshingly senseless and humorously gusty b-grade horror fodder right for the picking.
