(2013) [Trailer]
Director: Jacob Vaughan [IMDB]
Everyone has gone to the bathroom at one point in their lives and had an epic battle with the porcelain pony... and it stinks. That is what this site has been reduced to, scatological humor... sorry. But basically you're going to get an hour and a half of that if you dig into Bad Milo.
Synopsis: High amounts of stress cause a man, who looks like a cross between Ray Romano and Jason Bateman, to start growing an evil monster inside his bowels.
Checking out Bad Milo was priority after initially seeing the trailer a few weeks ago. It immediately reminded me of Basket Case (which I love) mixed with the Gremlins. I relish campy horror, and look forward to viewing anything within that realm, but I was a little uncertain whether Bad Milo could hold up... it does. It's no where near perfect but it is a fun movie that obviously doesn't take itself too seriously. I really like that they went practical used a puppet (or animatronics... not sure) but I wasn't a fan of the shitty (no pun intended) CGI blood. I mean if you're going to go all out and rock a hand crafted Milo, why not splurge and get some buckets of fake blood?
All told, Bad Milo made me laugh a few times, and it stays true to form. The film is raunchy at times, so if you're easily offended, steer clear... however I'd recommend it for horror fans. Also you get to hang out with Peter Stormare for a bit... love Peter Stormare.
