Bad Milo! is fun film that confidently mixes a game cast (Peter Stormare is especially good) with self-consciously loopy creature antics and action. The Freudian elements give the proceedings a modicum of respectability to offset the anally-fixated dialogue, jokes and revenge hi-jinks, while Milo himself is an amusing creation. However, although the film does have some good gore-attacks by the titular creature, in addition to very amusing 'bonding' scenes between Duncan and Milo, the film would have worked better with some Frank Henenlotter-style grunge and sleaze, as Basket Case and Brain Damage seem to be the most obvious influences (barring a maniacal and proctological take on Gremlins' Gizmo, that is), but Bad Milo! never reaches that level (or should it be glorious depths?).
