Blu-ray Review – Satan’s Little Helper

Writer/director Jeff Lieberman made a name for himself with strange genre offerings, building a career with 1976's "Squirm" and 1978's "Blue Sunshine." He pushed through the 1980s working on projects such as "Just Before Dawn" and "Remote Control," eventually stepping away from helming opportunities to manage other professional obligations. "Satan's Little Helper" is Lieberman's return to duty, with the 2004 endeavor aiming to revisit his sense of humor with a darkly comedic tale of murder involving a serial killer and the little boy who worships him. "Satan's Little Helper" aims to be cheeky and merciless, which is a strange tonal combination for anyone to manage, requiring a special creative touch that Lieberman struggles to maintain, unable to generate an inviting flow of mischief to help viewers understand how he wants them to react.
