Thirteen years ago a child was born until us, yea in the middle of a creepy forest, in the dead of night and pouring rain, to a mother who intended on pounding the demon spawn she was birthing back into Hell with an enchanted hammer inscribed with nordic runes that glowed green with power and anticipation for what was coming. Then the mother realized it was a girl, and that as a girl it couldn’t be that bad of hellspawn and yea didn’t squash the baby. Now thirteen years later she may be regretting that decision. Teenagers are moody little…jerks.

Little Demon revolves around a mother named Laura who had a brief relationship with Satan (voiced by Danny DeVito) resulting in the unplanned pregency and unplanned birthing of Chrissy who is the antichrist. For the last 13 years, Laura has been moving Chrissy from town to town trying to keep Satan from finding Chrissy and tapping into those sweet demonic powers his daughter possesses so he can one day leave purgatory and rule all the realms of Hell. Chrissy, however, thinks they move because of her Mom’s job, that her Dad is dead, and certainly has no idea she’s the antichrist. That is until during her first day of 7th grade when she gets her period and her demonic powers at the same time which then leads to the death and dismemberment of two bullies, a portal tearing open the sky above her school, and an invite to a rager of a birthday party at the abandoned taco shack. Kinda funny how things work out.

When the portal opens, Satan finally knows where Chrissy is and sends his minions above ground to bring Chrissy back to purgatory so they can finally meet, much to the fervent anger of Laura who’s not only Chrissy’s Mom but a witch (kinda) who is skilled in the arts of combat, dark magic, and bodybuilding (interesting combo) and knows what Satan’s intentions are. She breaks into purgatory to rescue her daughter and when the blood and dust settles, Satan has visitation rights to his daughter, Laura and Chrissy begin to work on their own messed-up relationship, and Chrissy is finally able to start making friends and settle into a normal routine. Now that’s healing.

Regardless of its dark, violent, and occult-based content, Little Demon is damn funny. The storyline is interesting and keeps you engaged, the animation is vivid, and the characters and the voice actors are solidly matched. Little Demon drops on Thursdays with the first two EP’s now available to stream right here on Hulu.
