Mikey

I remember renting this once in a while back in the early 90's. I had fun with it although it's a predictable slasher flick.

The plot was easy to follow and entertaining as I remember. There were some good death scenes and amusing acting.

The Mikey character was truly good and that's because of the talented child actor who portrayed it.

I remember a death scene involving a pool. Nice sequences and decent gore.

I haven't rented this one in years but I have good memories about it. As far as I remember, it's a decent, entertaining slasher. Recommended for slasher hard core fans or those who enjoy killer child flicks. As someone else mentioned, this movie always reminds me of "The Stepfather".

I went into this movie expecting a cheesy slasher film. I was in the first five minutes of the movie three people died in a really shocking way.

I'm not going to spoil anything from this movie all of the actors did great. The plot is understanding as well To be honest I choose this movie over The Prodigy 2019 I get this movie six stars out of 10 because I think it's a good underrated slasher.

Mikey is a horrifying thriller telling the story of a 10 year old boy with more than slight psychotic tendancies.

Many people say the concept is far fetched, I'd be inclined to agree but not to an extent where I couldn't take it seriously.

One fascinating fact about Mikey is that it's still to this day prohibited in the United Kingdom. It was banned due to the James Bulger murder, but alike the accused Childs Play 3 (1991) there are no similarities at all. Most movies are re-reviewed for release but due to red tape Mikey never has been and likely won't be.

It's one of those films that gets under your skin and succeeds in doing so from the opening through to the closing credits.

I'm not saying Mikey is a good film because it's not, but it does what it sets out to do and you have to give it credit for that.

The Good:

Kid does a great job

Very unsettling

The Bad:

Still a rather average effort

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

This is reason 7878952 why I don't want children

Ashley Laurence should have had a better career

Girls liking "Bad boys" when will they learn?

"Mikey" reminded me a lot of "Stepfather" with Terry O'Quinn, only a crazed kid instead of a grown-up. "Mikey" is a pretty disturbing, yet predictable film. The film is pretty violent; even a little girl is killed in the thing.

I thought Brian Bonsall did an extremely good job as the disturbed boy, when we're used to him playing that sweet kid. The film has a good measure of suspense and keeps you on the edge, but then they throw in an awful ending that you see coming a mile away. "Mikey" is worth watching if you like fun horror movies, but they could've done much better with the ending.

I laughed throughout this movie, so in that sense it was highly entertaining! I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a dark comedy or just so bad it's good. I had it recommended to me after asking for evil child movies. For whatever reason, it's a trope I love!

This one certainly fit the bill, complete with cheesy one-liners. I remember Brian Bonsall in Family Ties so it was fun to see him play the adorable but murderous waif. Parts were slow but the beginning was off to a good start and the ending was so over the top ludicrous that I actually LOLed. I'm almost surprised this doesn't have better cult status. Fun if you want to be entertained by bad horror.
