Would have made an awesome 30min. after-school special
OCTOBER!! The month where evil comes out of hiding and can roam freely. No other time of the year can you look natural walking down the street drenched in blood and carrying a butcher's knife. The bad guy in this story has constructed a sinister Halloween display--mainly because most of his decor used to be breathing. Cops see him dragging dead bodies across the yard and just wave as they drive by.
Let me back up a sec. There's a young kid possessed (not actually possessed) with his devil video game. He squeals in youthful delight as he racks up lots of points slaughtering people and casting them off into eternal damnation.
When the boy sees his neighbor dressed up in the Satan suit, he instantly becomes fascinated. He playfully asks if he can be his helper as they send people to hell. And so the murder spree begins. Ahh yes, good bloody fun.
This is a decent setup. It demonstrates the magnitude some bad influences can have on a child. I almost peed my pants during one scene--the devilish duo sprint through a parking lot, using a loaded shopping cart as a battering ram. Imagine the kid pointing and squealing:
OLD LADY!!! {BAMMM}
haha 25 points!
BABY IN A STROLLER!!! {SMACK}
yeah 50 points!
BLIND MAN!!! {PA-POW}
wahoo bonus points!
That was funny as hell!!!!!
This movie rolls downhill fast after this little romp. Some really moronic, predictable, unbelievable stuff to accompany the bad acting. But yeah, you probably knew it was coming.
Watch this if you're bored....
Score: 2

This movie sucked!
I caught this flick on TV last night and I was quite intrigued. Well, curiosity killed THIS cat because this movie SUCKED! It started out promising but by the end of the movie I had a huge headache thanks to the boring plot, really slow pacing, and the implausible story. Who knew a serial killer movie could be such a snooze? Rent the original Halloween and leave this one in the DVD dust bin.
Score: 1

A good movie for Halloween.
I would have preferred it without the cat scene, so three stars instead of four for that alone. Otherwise a very effective movie for Halloween, and even though I prefer them without humour, with this one, the humour worked and really was funny. Mainly because of the kid, (Satan's little helper) a nerdy, geeky little kid, extremely credulous, obsessed with the computer game entitled "Satan's Little Helper", to the extent that he totally confused fantasy with reality. He was hilarious in believing that firstly, 'Satan' (killer in groovy mask) really was: Satan, and secondly, believing that killer in Jesus mask really was: God, and thirdly, believing that killer in cop mask and outfit really was a cop, in spite of all evidence to the contrary. His conversations with 'Satan', 'God', and then the cop, were the most effectively humorous points in the movie. "Are you Satan?" "Are you God?" And all they had to do was nod, without ever speaking a word. Classic!
I loved the Satan mask and outfit, so cool, if only people dressed up like that for Halloween everywhere and wandered around in the shops getting provisions and carrying a shopping basket, so funny! To be honest, I'd have preferred a Halloween movie utilising all the effective costumes and sets that this movie had, but without the humour, but at least here, it worked. Not the most wonderful thing I've ever seen, but not bad either. It's certainly a great movie for Halloween.
Score: 3

a rare halloween gem
Don't be misled by the DVD cover design. This isn't one of those "horrid" horror films, it is a bright, funny, charming and finely made horror film with all the classical horror story attributes of fun and art. It is colourful and atmospheric and unusually for these days all the characters are sympathetic, while the killer loses none of his ogre value in being funny. I've only seen this once, but I am certain this is a fine film that must become a Halloween classic. It excels in Halloween imagery. Like other good horror films it has a satirical theme underlying it, in this case that of the wrong type of video games drawing children into violence and personal disaster. Wholesome in every sense I think, hence the five stars.
Score: 5

Movie Review
Satan's "costume" or make up didn't look realistic. I was a little disappointed because I don't like movies in which people kill other people. I prefer to see supernatural forces doing all the destruction. Only watch this movie if you have run out of movies to watch and you don't feel like reading a book or going out.
Score: 2
