REVIEW:

I love when filmmakers take specific genres and put a new spin to them in order to make them fresh and new again.  Director Jacob Vaughan did this with the new monster horror-comedy entitled "Bad Milo!"  It's one thing to have a monster haunting and killing people you know, but what this film does is have the monster literally be a part of the main character, more specifically living up the butt of the protagonist Duncan, played by "Children's Hospital's" Ken Marino.  What ensues after he discovers his "junk" in the trunk is a fun, flawed, but entertaining horror-comedy that is neither groundbreaking nor awful by any means.  Some of the jokes fall flat and the film sometimes drags on without really making up for the excess time, but for the most part, "Bad Milo" is a fun, gory, and silly movie that is sure to get a cult status as the year's go on.  It has all the elements of a fun B-horror film combined with the 80s classic "Gremlins."

Hello viewers of this blog,

Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
