Plot:
Jenna Whooly returns to Bell Island to spend the holiday with her family and her boyfriend Alex Martin, who was also raised in the island. Her young brother Douglas "Dougie" Whooly, who is very attached to Jenna and is fascinated in the videogame Satan's Little Helper, becomes jealous with the presence of Alex. He leaves home wearing his costume of Satan's little helper seeking Satan on the streets to kill Alex. Dougie meets a serial-killer that coincidently is wearing a costume of Satan and proposes him to attack Alex. He brings the insane murderer home, and Jenna and her mother Merrill Whooly believes that the masked killer is Alex acting like Satan to please Dougie. Later the boy walks with the criminal along the streets helping him to kill the locals.

Acting:
The acting in this film was good for the most part, Alexander Brickel(Dougie) was great this kid is very funny and would like to see him in more roles, Katheryn Winnick(Jenna) was ok as the college actress but she could be annoying at times, Joshua Annex(Satan) didn’t say a word in this film but his body language was real good and was fun to watch.

Gore:
Not a whole lot of blood here, we get a knife to the stomach, a lady hung, guts ripped out, gunshots, and some stabbing, it may sound like a lot of good stuff but not a lot of blood was shown.

T & A:
We get 1 pair here, and that’s all folks.

Directing:
Jeff made this film look real nice for a independent film, and there was some cool camera work during the shopping cart scene.

Soundtrack:
We get a fun, cheesy score that fit’s the film well, and also a little rock music.

Final thoughts:
Satan’s Little Helper is a very original slasher flick, and I really dug the first half of the flick, but the second half let me down a bit when it became serious. I would say this film is worth renting just to see Dougie’s role in the film, and if your into slashers a lot give this one a try. I give it a 5/10.
