SATAN'S LITTLE HELPER

It'z been a long time since someone haz made a new classic.Something fresh,something that didn't have 80'z written all over it.Sure,there'z been a few that've come close,like "Cemetary Man" or "Shaun Of The Dead",but thoze are almost too well made to stand alongside of cheeky schlock-o-vision mainstayz such az "Trick Or Treat" or "Basket Case".
Well,tho it came out in 2004,I just caught "Satan's Little Helper" a few weeks ago,and within' the first 10 minutes of the movie I waz under it'z evil little spell.
The movie iz a series of wacky misadventures of little Dougie,who'z obsession with finding Satan leads him to the front porch of,well,Satan.I guess,it never really explains who the guy in the demon mask iz, it could be some neighborhood arsonist,but the connection iz never truly made,so I assume it really iz Satan,who likez to collect victims for his front porch Halloween display.
The movie cleverly doesn't miss a beat-everything ya need in a good schlockfest iz here-stupid teenagers,twisted humor,dialogue just beggin' to be sampled by Rob Zombie,boobies-ah yes....boobies....

It waz directed by Jeff Lieberman,who waz responsible for another schlock classic-"Squirm"(a movie that waz once upon a time the basis for an epic musical written by yourz truly and his musical partner Pluto J.Funk in the mid 80's called "The Squirm Trilogy",featuring a song called "There's A Worm In My Eggcream",gotta dig it up one of theze dayz and post it),Lieberman doez it again with "Satan's Little Helper",but even better.
It'z a laugh riot,trust me,but I'm a sick little puppy...
