Little Evil has a little [Edgar] Wright-style cleverness: the movie's big chase sequence is between Gary and a demon, but the demon isn't some horrific monster - it's Lucas' beloved goat puppet, Reeroy.

Little Evil is Omen by way of Shaun of the Dead. The tone, editing, and direction are all on par for what an audience enjoys in a horror-comedy.

Scott brings plenty of humor to the classic role of a seriously concerned stepdad. But it is once he actually starts pursuing the idea that Lucas actually might be the Antichrist that things get even funnier.

... the film channels the anxieties and fears of fatherhood - in this particular case, step-fatherhood - by asking what would happen if your new wife's kid was actually the antichrist.

Netflix's Little Evil is a surprisingly sweet, rather - dare I say it? - cute, horror comedy that injects heart into the "spawn of Satan" genre.

The AI-written user reviews are the easiest to spot - right after reviews by morons who say the same crap about every new movie "WURST MOOVEE EVAR!!! WIFE AND I WAKED OUT AFTER 20 MINS!!!" Nobody is walking out of theater movies as often as reviews seem to be saying...

Although the movie has a unique and cool concept, the execution fell flat. With cringey lines, mediocre characters, and a sappy ending, Little Evil was better left as an idea.

Little Evil is quite original in the way it combines elements of horror and comedy to produce a story that is altogether heartwarming.
