Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

GL84 Thinking he's following a real-life version of a favorite video game character, a young boy unwittingly aids a serial killer along a rampage of carnage on Halloween night, and when it finally dawns on him about his actions, tries to help his parents stop the madman.This ended up being quite an enjoyable if really flawed effort. Most of this is due to the absolutely original notion of the connection between the killer and the game, which is quite a coincidence but really allows for a demented atmosphere throughout as there's the whole issue of a child being fascinated with violence and death and actively encouraging it to happen, granted unwittingly but still plays an active part in the process. By making it so that he's so unable to realize the difference between real-life and fantasy allows this to really get dark with its humor by including the rampage home from the supermarket where they basically run wild through the town knocking off people left and right in the shopping as he joyfully cries out alongside the carnage which is simply fun all around simply by his presence there gleefully doing his thing during the whole sequence as he thinks it to be a game they're playing. That as well gives the scenes in the house prior to the rampage a sense of eeriness as the killer interacts with the family who are unaware of the true nature of their companion as the cold, silent stare out from underneath the unimaginably creepy devil mask works wonders in generating a creepy villain and aides this as well during the other scenes out among the town as the rampage really picks up during the middle segments of the film. While this tries to give off a comedic vibe from these efforts, it's really not all that funny as the entire joke, that he can't distinguish fantasy from reality because of the way the character's dressed, is pretty lame for a running joke to go through an entire film and doesn't really have much else in the way of jokes to make it work. It's all based on his inability to see that the figure is a killer as everyone else plays along for no reason and this ends up giving the film a really off vibe during the first hour. Thankfully, once the ruse is found out that's dropped in favor of a series effort to stop the madman which is far more interesting with the twist involving the identity switch, the race to stop him from getting back to the kid and the rampage at the party offering some addition fun due to the more serious tone offered. Overall, it's quite a fun ride but it's most certainly not as funny as people say it is, leading to it's only real flaw.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, drug use and constant scenes of children-in-peril.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Far-fetched but amusing, this is about a little kid who is obsessed with a video game called "Satan's Little Helper"- a stereotypical ultra-violent, mindless video game, the sole object of which is to kill people. On Halloween the kid crosses paths with a killer he believes to be the Satan from the video game, because of the costume he's wearing. They go on a killing spree all over town while the kid merely thinks its all party of his video game. He hates his older sister's new boyfriend, so he arranges an ambush with the boyfriend and Satan, not realising that the guy in the Satan costume is really going to try to kill him.The killer then takes the place of the boyfriend and goes back to the girl's house to kill her and her mother. The little kid, still thinking it's all part of the video game, cooperates fully, and even helps the killer.Better than can be expected, but the kid is just unbelievably stupid, not naive, but outright STUPID, and his Halloween costume is almost scarier than the Satan costume! Toward the end of the film when the sister and boyfriend crash a costume party is borderline clever and silly. The sister's boyfriend is cruelly (and obviously) killed off before the kid finally realises that this is not part of the game, and that Satan isn't such a great guy after all. There is an interesting juxtaposition along the way: the killer is dressed as Satan, then later as Jesus, then as a cop, but it leads to one of the most anticlimactic endings I've seen in a long time.Obvious and unsuccessful horror-related jokes (the kid lives at 66 Heller st., for example) and again, the nonsensical, AWFUL ending are biggest detriments to the film.

lathe-of-heaven Okay, it's a FAIR idea that maybe had a little promise IF, and I do mean IF, it was done well. I don't know what the hell happened to Jeff Lieberman, but he certainly should know WAY better than this.Very simple... If you just edit out all the stupid 'Dead Air', of which there is a bloody TON of it; say, bring the film down from a ridiculous 100 minutes (for THIS story, are you frigg'n kidding me?!) and chop out about at LEAST 20 minutes of nonsense, most of which where for absolutely NO reason what so ever, people are just standing around and staring and saying nothing for long, LONG periods of time. IF you were to do that, then MAYBE you would have a fun little entertaining film with some nice chilling touches a la a very, VERY low rent 'HALLOWEEN' I truly just cannot get my mind around the fact that Lieberman after all the experience that he has had, would be so incredibly dense as to completely RUIN the film by allowing all this useless footage that absolutely KILLS any momentum or sense of Horror at all.A very, Very, VERY stupid and pointless waste of what at least MIGHT have come close to the 5 1/2 stars that it is rated here.NO excuse...

OceanInTheSky Words cannot describe how utterly dreadful this film is, but I'll give it a quick go.I'm not sure what the intention was at the outset of making this atrocity, whether it was intended to be funny or not, or if it is just so painfully bad that it was actually supposed to be serious, but whatever the intention - it failed miserably.The plot revolves around a young boy - who fancies his sister - going around with a serial killer, who he believes to be Satan, while the killer murders people. The boy is either stupid beyond belief, or mentally ill, as he for some reason believes that this is all fun and part of a game. (He's old enough to understand that it isn't, but seems incapable of achieving even this basic level of understanding).The story is terrible, the characters are terrible, the whole thing is just mind-blowingly crap that it will leave you wanting to gauge your eyes out so that you don't have to watch any more.If ever there was a contender for Worst Film Ever Made, this would be right up there.
