Milo

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!

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!...

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.

This was the worst movie I have seen this year. The acting was horrible, the story-line was contrived and somewhat vague. This was definitely a low budget not worth spending $2.75 to see it movie. Don't waste your money nor your time!

This movie is really warped..the acting is okay and it lives up to a true horror movie (plenty of deaths, a few twists) however it is pretty sick and twisted, made me feel a bit sick but I guess if that's your sort of thing. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you are really bored it's kind of interesting and entertaining even though as I said it can make someone with a weak stomach feel kind of sick especially at the end. It isn't a very good horror movie and I have seen much better as it's pretty slow and takes things too far a bit too much in parts. But yeah I'd give it a 3 maybe out of 10.
