Milo

This film had a good premise and it was interesting but the execution did leave much to be desired. The acting was pretty bad but it was nice to see Mila Kunis even if uncredited, how dare they uncredit her. Anyway the boy playing milo was my favourite as he but on a very creepy voice that made his character unsettling with the yellow rain mack. So a group of girls follow this kid milo on their bikes to the house his dead works in he ends up killing one and many years latter one of them is a tacher and she thinks his back. I liked the pacing of this film and I really feel it deservd more than a five but its all I can give it. Oh and it has a stupid ending that really does not worl.

A lot of people on here are leaving bad reviews about Milo. Personally, I didn't think it was all that bad. The idea behind was somewhat original and the movie over all was creepy. It left me and my friend feeling a bit disturbed after watching it.

The bad points though? The acting is pretty bad. Also, as most of the other reviews have already stated, there are a lot of holes in the plot line. You have to really pay attention to every single little thing to try and put things together yourself. I only watched it once though and picked up on most of what was going on.

All in all though, it all depends on what you're into. If you have to have everything explained to you and have everything make sense, then this movie definitely isn't for you. I would also stay away from it if you have a weak stomach. I would recommend it to you though if you like movies that are a bit out of the ordinary, and leave you with a disturbed feeling.

If it wasn't for the very attractive Jennifer Jostyn in the lead role, I would have turned "Milo" off after the first 30 minutes. However, as easy on the eyes as she is, she's not enough to save this film, not by a long shot.

Milo starts off with a group of young girls accompanying an "assumed young boy" in a yellow slicker to a house in the woods where he shows them embryos in jars. Apparently, the deal was that if he showed them the jars, ol' Milo gets to conduct a gynecologist exam on each in return. One of the group volunteers to be Milo's "first patient" and he leads her behind closed doors. Moments later blood flows from under the door and we are whisked into present day. Enter the lovely Jostyn who plays one of the girls all grown up in present day. A substitute teacher with shallow confidence whose closest friend appears to be a goldfish, she receives an invitation to return home for a friend's wedding. Yep! You guessed it. Return to Miloville. Milo, who allegedly drowned years ago, seems to be having a dilemma staying dead and begins terrorizing and murdering the girls he failed to "examine" all those years ago.

Milo, the character, reminded me of one of the mutants from Cronenberg's "The Brood." He could have been scary, but just how scary can a villain be who wears a yellow raincoat? The plot confuses even itself and the conclusion left me wanting my 90 minutes back. I'm sending Milo, an inept slasher film, to stand in the corner!

Except for fans of "That 70s Show" who get to see Mila Kunis as a child actress in an uncredited role, and "Providence" fans who get to see Paula Cale in a supporting role, I can't think of any reason to view MILO. The plot is formula all the way, with no twists or surprises. Production values are bargain-basement. The acting is competent, but no one performance stands out. Even aficionados of graphic gore and gratuitous nudity will get nothing out of this flick. Normally I cut these low-budget potboilers some slack, but even graded by their own standards, MILO is a failure.

MILO opens with a flashback sequence involving a group of schoolgirls and a murderous young boy in a yellow raincoat.

Years later, we are introduced to Claire Mullins (Jennifer Jostyn), an elementary school teacher who begins seeing a boy in a yellow raincoat lurking around. As it happens, Claire was one of the girls from the opening. Has the titular terror tot somehow returned to torment her once more?

When Claire's friends start dying around her, it's clear that school might be out forever!

MILO is a somewhat macabre, ultimately silly movie that's far more humorous than frightening. The killer kid just isn't that intimidating. Of course, it doesn't help that his voice sounds like Bugs Bunny on helium!

Claire's neurosis is rather comical as well. She comes across as delirious from the the moment she enters the picture. Adding to the fun is Antonio Fargas as the world's most unlucky janitor. His death at the tiny hands of MILO is brilliantly absurd!

DO NOT MISS: The head-bashing, utterly bananas, Claire vs. MILO finale! It's hard to top a woman in half a wedding dress swinging a baseball bat at a mutant child brandishing a scalpel!...
