Nerds That Geek Movie Review: 'Bad Milo'

Written by Scott Edwards

Dealing with stress is one of the hardest things to do these days. With everyone trying to offer their advice on how to relieve it, it ends up making you more stressed out. With so much stress being put on your body and mind, it can lead to many health issues that could affect you for the rest of your life. Trying to find a happy medium is what it is all about. Knowing when and where you should put this pressure on yourself, along with letting it go and not sweating the little things is paramount. Woosah.

Duncan has always had stomach problems for as long as he can remember. But after going to the doctor at his wife’s request, he comes to realize that he may have a bigger problem on his hands. The doctor discovers a polyp that is starting to get larger in his lower intestinal track. This could be attributed to the stress level Duncan has been putting himself through as of late, so the doctor recommends that Duncan talk to a therapist to keep his feelings at bay, until surgery can be scheduled to remove the abnormal growth. 

Meeting his new therapist, Duncan is far from relieved with his current level of stress, and it actually manages to rise in the crazy doctor’s presence once he learns that Dr. Highsmith is more than a therapist, he is also a hypnotist. Not truly believing that this doctor could help him, Duncan returns home, only to get a call from his new co-worker that a file that he had been working on for the last year had been deleted. Duncan’s stomach starts to rumble again and now he has to go to the bathroom before going into the office to restore his lost work. Having issues with his movement, Duncan passes out on the floor, but that is where the real trouble starts.

​After waking up, Duncan hears that his co-worker has been killed by a rabid raccoon. Not believing this, he goes to work, only to have his boss be upset with him being late. Duncan is also now in charge of layoffs for his company and lets several people go in his new position. With his stress level going through the roof, he turns back to Dr. Highsmith for help or advice. The doctor is able to hypnotize Duncan and see what is causing the real issues in Duncan’s life, along with a creature that crawls out of his patient’s backside. The creature is part of Duncan and only wants to take the stress away from his…parent.

Bad Milo! follows Duncan as he has to battle his stress level to keep everyone in his life safe. With all of the stress that has been put on the man’s shoulders over the past day, Duncan is not able to keep his beast at bay as a creature emerges from his anus when he cannot handle the pressure any longer. This demon’s mission is to take out all of the stresses that Duncan has endured, killing the perpetrators and keeping them out of his life forever. With his change in job titles at work, his overbearing mother and hearing the news that his wife is pregnant, Duncan is pushed to his limit. Knowing what this creature is capable of, Duncan turns to Dr. Highsmith for any help he can get, but it may be too late when his stress level rises and his stomach starts to churn. 

Creepy? Disturbing? Twisted? Hilarious? Bad Milo! has all it all as you sit back and watch something come out of a person that should never have been there in the first place. With plenty of splatter for the horror fans, many one liners for the people that need comedy in their movies and the twisted addition of a 'butt creature,' this movie is just great. Watching Duncan struggle through his day is easy enough, but when he gets a little helper to come out and take care of his issues, it is eye opening. With all of the stress we have to put up with on a daily basis, this movie is a must see and a reminder to take a deep breath once in a while. Stay Scared!
