2004 Satan’s Little Company
Little Dougie (Alexander Brickel) loves Halloween and is dressed up as the video game character Satan’s Little Helper. When he finds a man in 
a costume who claims to be Satan his dreams come true, but at what cost?
Satan’s Little Helper is one of the best independent horror films I have ever seen. It is just so messed up and hysterical what is happening through the whole film that I can’t help but love it. It’s very original and well made, which is very rare combination in the independent horror genre of films.
Jeff Liberman penned the screenplay for this and it has one of the most twisted plots I have ever seen. Dougie spends the majority of the film following around a guy dressed up in a devil type costume who is murdering people. Not only does this kid think that it’s all some sort of fun game but he really gets into what the guy is doing and even tells him to kill his sister Jenna’s (Katheryn Winnick) boyfriend Alex (Stephen Graham). We are given hints as to who the murderer really is throughout the whole film but it is never completely confirmed. In fact I like that aspect of it because you get to use your imagination and perhaps, just perhaps, that guy is really Satan after all. The entire film takes place in a community called Bell Island and during one point in the film everybody is going around robbing places and such, which is pretty hysterical since the place looks like something out of Leave It To Beaver. The characters are pretty well written and actually likable, so when they start getting maimed I actually care about what is happening to them. The Satan character may be fun to watch but by golly he’s not a very nice fellow! The ending of the film is quite chilling and let’s you kind of ponder what exactly happens next.
This is directed by Jeff Liberman and he does a pretty damn good job. There are no major mistakes, as often seen in independent movies, and some of the scenes filmed are downright hysterical. At one point Satan takes Dougie on a wild ride in a shopping cart hitting a pregnant woman,
a priest, a blind man and a baby. Not only that but you also get to hear the baby cry after it is hit! Yes, it is in slightly bad taste but that is what is so funny about it. There is one scene in this that really disturbed me and that’s because it involves a kitty cat and is quite graphic. In fact it made me cringe more than the scenes in which people are killed, so if you are an animal lover make sure you cover your eyes during it. One really strangely filmed scene is during a costume party in which people just kind of stand around while watching poor Merrill (Amanda Plummer) being semi tortured by the Satan guy. It’s kind of surreal but I can actually believe a bunch of drunk idiots thinking that it’s a whole costume gimmick! The camera follows Jenna trying to rescue her, all the while dressed in a big chicken costume that stands out from the other guests. People get offed in a variety of different ways including a homage to the beginning of The Omen, if you catch my drift! There is a good amount of blood in this but it isn’t over the top or meant to be gratuitous in nature. Yes, there are some boobies be if you blink long enough you will probably miss them.
The first time I watched this film I couldn’t believe that Amanada Plummer plays the mother Merrill, because she has been in so many cool films and TV shows over the years like The Prophecy, and some very good episodes of The Outer Limits. I like how she plays the mom slightly ditsy and I think she would actually be a very cool mom to have after watching this! Alexander Brickel really does a good job playing little Dougie. Most of the film involves him in one way or another so if he was bad the film really wouldn’t work at all. It must have been fun as hell, no 
pun intended, for him to play this role. The rest of the actors are okay, but not quite on the same level as the two I just mentioned. Oh, I should also mention Joshua Annex who is the man who actually playas Satan in this. He is in a mask the entire time and that couldn’t have been very fun so I give him a thumbs up for that alone.
Bloofer Lady thinks that this original independent horror film should be seen by all aspiring amateur horror film makers as an example of what works.
