MY CALL: More adorable than horrific, Milo put a big smile on my face. This is hands down the best movie I’ve ever seen about a butt monster. MORE MOVIES LIKE Bad Milo: Like a few laughs with your horror? Try Final Destination 5 (2011), Piranha 3D (2010), Piranha 3DD (2012), The Hazing (2004) Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010), Drag Me to Hell (2009), Hatchet (2006) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012). If you love gory, exploitative, intensely inappropriate movies and can tolerate subtitles I’d suggest you pick a few movies from A Beginner’s Guide to Tokyo Gore Shock Cinema.
Duncan (Ken Marino; Eastbound & Down, Children’s Hospital) leads a stressful life which, consequently, led to the development of an anal polyp. His doctor’s prescription: avoid stress. Of course, right after receiving this advice, he encounters nothing but stress. His boss is pressuring him, his wife (Gillian Jacobs; Community) wants to start a family, his mother married someone younger than him, and his co-worker is making his work life Hell.
During an entertaining, gastrointestinally-scored bathroom scene, Duncan gives anal birth to Milo, the malevolent personification of his anal polyp which emerges from his ass to kill the source of his stress. What’s REALLY scary, though, is that after Milo kills he returns and climbs back into Duncan’s ass!
The jokes are funny, but not quite the over-the-top nature I expected. I thought this would be scripted more like Scary Movie. Instead this was played mildly straight-faced…for a butt monster movie. However, the physical comedy is HILARIOUS! As far as butt demons go, Milo is pretty cute…adorable at times…like a shaved Gizmo, cooing and cuddling. The creature effects were decent, too.
See? Just plain adorable!
A lot of inappropriate things happen in this movie beyond the plotline that an anal polyp demon emerges from a man’s ass for occasional killing sprees. A man falls face first into another man’s bare ass, a man’s face is eaten by Milo while Milo is still inside Duncan’s ass, a man’s penis is brutally bitten off…this is definitely the kind of flick you watch with a case of beer and some of your gore-loving bros.
Oh, and watch through the credits. There are some really funny b-reels.
