Mikey (1992)

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

How sad is this?

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

A seemingly innocent and sweet little boy causes murder and mayhem in his new neighborhood and falls for the teenage girl next-door.As others have pointed out, this film has sort of the same feel as "The Stepfather", except the killer is now a little boy instead of a seemingly caring new dad. Of course, "The Stepfather" is the better movie, but that's no secret.I do think the film needs to be brought into the light. I had not heard of it until a book by T. S. Kord made me aware, and then when I went to watch it on Hulu, I found the picture quality was not the greatest and the film was cut for full-screen. With horror veterans Mimi Craven and Ashley Laurence, as well as Lyman Ward, it seems like this would be a good film for Scream Factory to pick up.

A horribly disturbed film, especially in light of youth that were actually murdered in Britain where it is still banned, this is beyond morbid. Brian Bonsall is genuinely creepy and devious as the films antagonist, a perverse brat who will literally kill for what he wants and/or doesn't get. He falls for a local girl, and murders her boyfriend, and he sees her expectantly as if to replace him. A natural born killer, all Mikey does is murder and kiss up to the authorities after wards. At the end, it's easy to see how it will play out after, more adoptions, more murder. In conclusion, teen slasher flicks are always great, I don't know about toddler slasher flicks though.

The 'killer kid' concept has been done time and time again, but Mikey really pulls it off. He is adopted by a loving young couple who can't have kids of their own, and they think he is amazing. At a primate zoo show he stops to return a purse to an old lady, he loves the baby fish at his new home and he befriends the next-door neighbor's kid immediately. The only one who thinks he's a little off is his new teacher, especially when he hands her a crayon drawing of a turkey with an ax hacking a group of pilgrims to death.To impress the teenage neighbor girl nearby, Mikey plays dead as a practical joke. He falls in love with her and gets mad when he sees her making love to her boyfriend, smashing the window. Mikey also kills her beloved cat Rosie, and she blames the boyfriend. Soon other people note how disturbing his actions are, and when the boyfriend is electrocuted to death in the hot tub it soon becomes a massacre of neighbors as Mikey rids himself of his adoptive family.Mikey has great acting and soundtrack, was rather unoriginal but nonetheless a great film.

I really like this movie about Mikey has an emotional behavior because of what had happen in his past and what his real parents have done to him before he was adopted by foster families to another.He's a sweetest,cutest little boy that his second foster family;Neil and Rachael had want him as their own son they're think that he's a great kid until things become deadly with him.First he has a crush with his best friend Ben's older sister Jessie.After he peep at her through her bedroom window and video taped her in the action with her boyfriend David,he grows emotionally,disappointed with his jealousy,because he didn't know that she already had a boyfriend.Won't Mikey find some girl his own age.Mikey got really bad and start killing his foster family one by one after Jessie found out that he had kill her boyfriend by kicking a boom box in a jacuzzi he was in.Will Mikey go kill the next foster families?This movie is more killing and violent than the GOOD SON.Macauley Culkin is not holding a candle for Brian Bonsall's killings.
