Satan's Little Helper (2003)

This horror film is like some kind of cruel joke that keeps on going and you want to laugh (and you do) but at some point it's hard to find it funny anymore.  This isn't a bad thing for a horror film and in fact I applaud director/ writer Jeff Lieberman for coming up with such an evil little movie.   In the tradition of mistaken identity comedies, a twenty something college student named Jenna, played by Katheryn Winnick, gets her little brother's deranged masked murderer mistaken as her boyfriend.  Her little brother Dougie is a bit annoying and it's completely unbelievable that he would become so enamored by a stranger dressed up as Satan.  I get what Lieberman is doing though, making more of a statement then crafting a realistic story.  It mostly works and there's enough going on here to recommend it for what it is, a dark comedy about a serial killer.  Grade: B.
