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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) Aug 27, 2018
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. Go to Full Review

... 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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Poe M Apr 6, 2019 I quite enjoyed it! It's a funny movie about a step father that doesn't quite understand his step son who's biological father is the devil. I recommend it! See more
Feb 23, 2019 Terrific campy flick, witty.
Rey M Feb 18, 2019 It was actually quite entertaining, making fun of all the evil spawn movies that scare the sht out of me. I even laughed a few times. Good time killer. See more
Kylo S Dec 18, 2018 I liked this movie is so funny . I enjoyed it a lot.
Abraham W Nov 29, 2018 At times it can be a clever parody of the horror genre, but ultimately it becomes bogged down in cliche, not all the jokes land the way they should, and the character progression is too rushed. A tighter script could have saved it. And compared to the director's previous work with the clever Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil, it kind of pales in comparison, not meeting the bar that have already been set by previous horror comedies. Adam Scott is always good though regardless of what he's in. Not good, not terrible. Watchable. See more
Rey W Nov 3, 2018 Oddly enough, the greatest strength in this horror-comedy really isn't the horror or the comedy, it's the heart of the thing. It's ultimately a story about a step-parents acceptance into a new family, both him accepting of the child and the child accepting him. It just so happens that the child in this instance in the antichrist. That relationship as it develops is actually pretty heartwarming, not one you see a lot, and I'll be damned if they don't handle it in a wildly original way. I liked Adam Scott as the stepdad, and I liked his crew of stepdad support group. However, the rest of the movie just doesn't work as well as it should. As built up as the jokes are, none of them quite land. There's a lot of chuckles, but no big laughs. It also has some weird pacing issues, especially near the third act. I actually though the movie was prepping to end on a cliffhanger only to realize that it was actually just getting started for a surprise twist and there was actually about 20 minutes left. I still give it a marginally positive rating because it is still an overall surprisingly charming movie. It's surprisingly likable, and wildly original, and it's got a good heart. It just comes way short of it's ultimate potential See more
