Hollywood has a long history of using creepy children to scare the crap out of us. Unholy, unsettling, unnatural kids, like in Children of the Corn, The Bad Seed, The Good Son, and Orphan, have a special and awful place in movie lore. But instead of using demon spawn to terrify us, Netflix’s newest movie about Satan’s son will try to make us laugh, with The Omen parody Little Evil.

In this trailer for the film, we meet Adam Scott‘s Gary, whose new wife Samantha (played by Ant-Man‘s Evangeline Lilly) is almost the perfect woman… except for the tiny fact her strange son Lucas might be the devil incarnate. “Maybe he’s just weird and needs love,” you say? Well how many kids use demon goat sock puppets to communicate? And would you want to live in a house with one who does?

Let this be a warning to all of us about the importance of really knowing someone before we commit to spending the rest of our lives with them. Before you get married, ask your significant other important questions, like, “Where do you want to live?” and “Were you ever a member of a cult and is your child the son of Satan?” Some things should really be addressed before the wedding. Your happiness and the fate of mankind could depend on those answers.

The film looks like a lot of fun, which is no surprise since director Eli Craig is no stranger to the horror-comedy genre–he also directed the criminally underrated Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. 

Little Evil comes to Netflix on September 1st, so get your holy water ready. And maybe some of those childproof locks.
