This bizarre little creature feature was released in 2013 in the States and was directed by Jacob Vaughan (The Cassidy Kids). I was drawn to Bad Milo in the manner that I imagine many people were, the weird and corny synopsis and the silly poster artwork; and I watched this film without any level of expectation, the only way in my view to go into films like this one. The story is a strange one, and a daft one too for that matter…

Bad Milo (2013)
Directed by Jacob Vaughan
Written by Benjamin Hayes, Jacob Vaughan
Cast: Ken Marino (Duncan), Gillian Jacobs (Sarah), Mary Kay Place (Duncan’s Mom), Patrick Warburton (Phil), Peter Stormare (Highsmith), Kumail Nanjiani (Bobbi), Stephen Root (Duncan’s Dad)
Here lately, Magnet Releasing carries the same clout with me as Cannon Films, New World Pictures, and Vestron Video. That’s not a slam. It’s a compliment of the highest order. Whenever I saw those monikers before any film, I knew I was in for some kind of genre masterpiece. Whether it be action, horror, or science fiction, it would be a movie that I and a several others (you know who you are) would harbor a clandestine love for until the internet and horror cons came along. That’s when we could go public and find kindred spirits that were states and countries away.

If you told me a movie about Ken Marino’s butt monster would be one of my favorite horror movies of 2013, I’d tell you, “Yeah, that sounds about right.” I mean, Ken Marino is one of the funniest character actors in Hollywood right now, I have a soft spot for practical effects driven creature features, and how are you not immediately intrigued by Ken Marino’s stinky, murderous friend? Bad Milo! charms and chills unlike any horror comedy released last year, and that’s thanks to a unique script that brings to life Marino’s subconscious in the form of an intestine-dwilling pet with a destructive mind of its own.
Bad Milo! will go down as a brilliantly worshipped cult comedy some years down the road, and there are two glaring reasons why – the most obvious being Ken Marino’s casting. You’ve seen him play supporting roles over and over again,...

I thought this would be an easier review, because I thought I had reviewed it before, back when I saw the screener around the time it was being unleashed on VOD. Turns out, my good friend and Tld badass Eric King(Brobocop) reviewed it for me, so I actually have to do a little bit of work. That’s okay, though, because Bad Milo was one of the gems of 2013, in my humble opinion. Bad Milo is one of those movies, that when you read the description, you think that no way will this movie be any semblance of good. You would think that, but you’d be wrong. I had an idea, what to expect, from a movie that was described to me as a story about an irritable man with a demon living in his intestines, that would come out through his anus when stress levels reach a maximum,...

It's hard not to love any movie about a demon that lives in a dude's butt, which is precisely the sort of glorious insanity that Bad Milo (review) brought to the table this year. After a limited theatrical and On Demand release in October, the lovable ass demon comes home.

Asscapade: Vaughan’s Body Horror Comedy Ripe for Cult Status
Destined for cult comedy status is Jacob Vaughan’s Bad Milo!, a ribald idea that threatens to offend the good tastes of polite society, but isn’t quite as shockingly daring as a written synopsis would seem to indicate. In essence, a film about an ass monster demon (yes, an ass monster demon) that is a literal metaphor of personified, repressed rage emanating from its host, Vaughan has made one of those movies designed to be an excellent ice-breaker in a crowd, not unlike Tom Six’s Human Centipede schlockers. But the point here is never quite fully formed and one gets the sense that the film doesn’t quite live up to its daring potential. Nevertheless, a handful of oddly bizarre moments coalesce to shape the semblance of working narrative, and though it perhaps takes itself too seriously, it...

"Bad Milo!" is a demented and dark midnight horror comedy about a stressed-out accountant whose spastic colon produces an avenging, predatory polyp. If the concept alone isn't funny, it's probably one you'll want to pass on.
When we finally get a glimpse at that "thing" growing inside of Duncan Haslip (Ken Marino of TV's "Children's Hospital"), we understand the hour-long trips to the toilet, accompanied by screaming.
It's big, bald and wrinkled -- E.T. with teeth and claws.
His doctor (Toby Huss) is reassuring. "You've got a thing in your butt," and it's due to "poor stress management." All Duncan had to do was dial down the stress and all would be well.
But he works for a creep (Patrick Warburton) who has moved him into human resources, where Duncan is now in charge of layoffs at his investment firm. The boss thinks it's cute to slip inappropriate articles into...

In the horror/comedy game originality is everything, and luckily for Bad Milo!, there’s plenty of genre-mashing fun worth its weight in gold – shit covered gold that is. Usually it’s not good when a movie pulls half of its scenes out of someone’s ass, but in the case of this Ken Marino led creature feature, we’re actually excited any time our monster crawls out of our main character’s poop-shoot. Bad Milo! is a heartwarming story of love, dealing with your demons, murderous vengeance, and grossly inappropriate laughs. Sure, our little friend Milo may be bad, but Jacob Vaughan’s movie is oh-so-good.
Duncan’s (Ken Marino) life is a stressful one. He works a terrible, unfulfilling job, his wife is pushing for a baby, his mother constantly butts into his personal life, his father is nowhere to be found, and he’s just recently discovered...

Bad Milo
Written by Jacob Vaughan and Benjamin Hayes
Directed by Jacob Vaughan
USA, 2013
In an episode of Community, Britta (played by Gillian Jacobs) once said that an analogy is “a thought with another thought’s hat on.” It may be laboured, clumsy, and teetering on the gobbledygook, but what she said was not altogether incorrect. In fact, that’s pretty much the reason why the scene was funny. Jacob Vaughan’s Bad Milo, in which Jacobs co-stars, deals with a metaphor that, in its execution, feels very much the same way: laboured and ridiculous, but not altogether unfunny.
The film follows a mild-mannered but perpetually stressed accountant named Duncan (Ken Marino). He’s stressed for various reasons: he has constant and insufferable incontinence; he’s unable to conceive a child with his wife (Jacobs); and his crooked and insouciant boss (Patrick Warburton) is putting tremendous pressure on him at work.

Here's a red-band trailer for a crazy-looking new horror comedy called Bad Milo, which seems so ridiculously twisted it should make for an entertaining film. It was directed by Jacob Vaughn from a script he wrote with Benjamin Hayes and stars comedian Ken Marino. Here's the synopsis!
Tormented by a manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton), a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place), a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root), and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), Duncan's (Ken Marino) mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. But then he learns the real problem is a pint-sized demon living in his intestine, who forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered Duncan. Attempting to keep the demon in check, Duncan befriends it, naming him Milo, and tries to keep his appetite at bay.
Magnolia Pictures releases the film on iTunes/VOD August 29th and in theaters October 4th.

Starring: Ken Marino, Peter Stormare, Gillian Jacobs

Wow, what a treat this was! The best way I can describe Bad Milo is to take a pissed off Mogwai, shave him and remove his ears, then shove him up the asshole of Office Space -and I mean that in the most complementary way possible. It’s always great to go into a movie having no preconceived notions of what to expect and come out really satisfied. And Bad Milo does just that. It’s hilarious, gleefully nasty, and a surprisingly heartwarming comedy horror film. The fact that a movie this outrageous is getting any type of theatrical release whatsoever puts a big damn smile across my mug!

Look for Milo to tour the Fantastic Film Alliance circuit with possible stops in Montreal, Los Angeles, Toronto and perhaps Sitges before settling down for a theatrical/VOD release.

Jacob Vaughans horror comedy hybrid Milo screened to rave reviews last weekend at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival. Apparently audiences are chewing up this silly buddy horror romp. The synopsis does admittedly sound rather appealing. Full details havent been released yet but we do know that Magnet aims to drop this one in our laps before the calendar year closes. If the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures follows typical suit well likely see this one receive a limited theatrical run accompanied a heavy VOD campaign. Vaughan cowrites alongside Benjamin Hayes. Patrick Warburton (Ted) Nick Jaine (Live Free or Die Hard) Gillian Jacobs (The Box) Peter Stormare (The Big Lebowski) and Ken Marino (Wanderlust) star.

Milo
Directed by Jacob Vaughan
Written by Benjamin Hayes, Jacob Vaughan
People usually know what they are getting into when they enter certain movies at SXSW. There are the big headliners ; there are the obscure international films; there are the intimate indie flicks and mumblecore movies; then there are the kind of films like Milo. With a description involving a demon living inside a man’s colon, you know what you are getting yourself into when you’re standing in line for this one.
Milo is an irreverent gross out comedy that follows a man (Ken Marino) as he juggles a stressful work life, familial pressures from wife Sarah (Gillian Jacobs), unresolved issues with an absentee dad (Stephen Root), and a nagging stomach problem. After frequenting New Age, occultist therapist Highsmith (Peter Stormare), he finds out that the source of his ailments is a demon that escapes out of his...

Featuring: Ken Marino, Gillian Jacobs, Peter Stormare, Patrick Warburton, Stephen Root
Milo, which had its world premiere last night at Austin's SXSW festival, is a hard film to describe. Is it a movie about a husband and wife's efforts to conceive a child? Or a movie about a man plumbing the depths of his psyche to deal with his past? Aw, screw it. Let's face it, Milo will be forever known as the "butt monster" flick.
In Jacob Vaughan's twisted new horror comedy, Ken Marino stars as Duncan Hayslip. Duncan is a super-nice guy, but he's under a lot of stress. His wife wants a child, his unscrupulous boss is putting him in charge of layoffs, and his chronic stomach problems are becoming too much to bear. Then there are those mysterious, gruesome deaths, seemingly the work of a rabid raccoon.

Ken Marino (Burning Love, Party Down) stars in the SXSW-screening horror-comedy Milo as a man with a homicidal monster living in his butt.
That’s right: In. His. Butt.
“Milo came out of professional jealousy,” recalls writer-director Jacob Vaughan. “I was talking to a friend of mine who ended up being the cowriter, Benjamin Hayes. We were complaining about an acquaintance who had gotten money to make a horror film. We had read the script and we didn’t think it was very good. I started talking about early Cronenberg movies and how his horror was so much more interesting because it was about something.

If you think you’ve ever had problems with an unsettled stomach – a touch of wind, perhaps or some cramps from bad seafood – spare a thought for poor old Milo hero Ken, played in the new comedy by Ken Marino. He’s got more than a bit of an upset stomach: he’s got a demon living in there. The first poster for the under-the-radar film has arrived via the Hollywood Reporter. Milo finds Marino’s main man already weighed down with life issues. On the suggestion of his wife (Community’s Gillian Jacobs), Ken seeks out the help of a psychiatrist. During one of his sessions, he and his shrink figure out that he’s got a tiny little demon living in his stomach.Things go from bad to worse when the creature gets loose and goes on a murderous rampage, with Ken the only man who can placate it.

“This year, we wanted to make people laugh before we made them squirm,” New Artists founder/producer Gabe Cowan tells Fango. “Both films are funny and intense, and defy genre in their own ways.”
Milo stars Gillian Jacobs, Ken Marino and genre regular Peter Stormare. Marino plays Ducan, a man whose stomach issues prove to be much more than irritable bowel syndrome: A demon child is inhabiting his intestines. How’s that for nausea inducing? Jacobs plays Sarah, Ken’s stressful wife, and Stormare is his therapist Highsmith. This is the first feature from director Jacob Vaughan since 2006’s narrative-bending Cassidy Kids; this time, he teamed up with writer Benjamin Hayes (True Blood, Angel Of Death) for the Milo script, so it’s certain to be equal parts blood and camp. The producing team is comprised of Cowan and longtime producing partner/New Artists co-founder John Suits, along with the Duplass brothers and Adele Romanski.

Tagline: "He's coming out whether you like it or not." The film Milo is a blend of horror and comedy. This title showed at the American Film Market in October. Here, the film's first poster was revealed. And now, Aldamisa Entertainment has released a higher quality version of the poster for horror fans. The graphic promises a creature feature. A troll, of sorts, looms in a crescent moon. Described as a gremlin in the film, this monster is the root of the protagonist's problems. This creature likes to murder. The blood stained claws on the beast signal that Milo is at least partially successful in his fatalistic undertakings. More details on this horror film will be posted as the production moves to completion. Cast and crew details are below. Release Date: 2013. Director: Jacob Vaughan. Writer: Benjamin Hayes, and Jacob Vaughan. Producers: Adele Romanski and the Duplass Brothers. Cast: Gillian Jacobs,...

Before directing his debut feature film this past July in Los Angeles, Jacob Vaughan (pictured above) came from a background in editing (working for Duplass Bros. projects including the Sundance accepted Baghead, Cyrus and Black Rock). Coming across like a twisted version of The Beaver, Milo is a comedic horror film featuring Ken Marino in the lead alongside Patrick Warburton, Peter Stormare, Gillian Jacobs, Stephen Root, Jonathan Daniel Brown and Mary Kay Place.
Gist: Penned by Vaughan & Benjamin Hayes, this centers on a man (Marino) with intense stomach trouble who learns to his horror that he has a demon living in his intestines. When he gives it permission to come out during a therapy session, the man names it Milo and tries to live a life in which he, not his demon, is in charge. Jacobs will play Marino’s wife, and one of the stresses in his life. Stormare plays the man’s shrink.

The gorgeous Gillian Jacobs (below) who plays Britta on NBC's hit comedy series 'Community' is set to play the wife of Ken Marino's ('Wanderlust') character in a new horror comedy called 'Milo'. Jacob Vaughan makes his directorial debut on the New Artists Alliance project which revolves around Duncan (Marino), a man with intense stomach trouble who learns to his horror that he has a anxiety related demon living in his intestines. During a therapy session with his therapist (played by Peter Stormare) he gives it permission to come out. Sounds delightfully bizarre. The script was penned by Vaughan and co-written by Benjamin Hayes and 'Archer' star Judy Greer is also on board...

Sometimes, a project can gather enough people with the proper credentials to, right out of the gate, be worthy of your attention; with such a smorgasbord of comedic talent all converging, Milo is one of those rare outings. THR tells us that Jacob Vaughan, for his debut film, will be directing Gillian Jacobs (Community), Ken Marino (Wanderlust), and the great Peter Stormare in a Mark and Jay Duplass-produced horror comedy about a demon that emerges from someone’s stomach. No, really.
In the screenplay, co-written by Benjamin Hayes, a man (Marino) is advised by his psychiatrist (Stormare) to let a demon inhabiting his intestines — created by forces of stress in his life, such as his spouse (Jacobs) — to come out. When it actually does, the protagonist tries to maintain a proper existence where the demon, which he’s properly named Milo, is not controlling everything. Boy, am I curious...
