Why so much hype?

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Mikey is a pretty hardcore slasher flick when the villian who you should fear is not a guy in the hockey mask or a guy can kill you in your dream but the most harmless person in the world:A child.The movie is not messing around with viewer cause about 5 minutes in the movie Mikey the main character already kill his adoptive family start off with the drowning of a little girl.The subject behind Mikey is disturbing and not easy to understand but don't take it seriously cause put all the spychological stuff aside Mikey is still cheesy as hell.

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.

This movie is still banned in the UK, due to James thing back in 1993This movie gets going from very first second of the movie, I found the start of the movie very chilling and a bit disturbing (That pool scenes was so hard to watch) This evil 9 year boy kills all of his adored family in first 3 minutes of the movie. The movie calm down a little and as dose Mikey, when he again adored by another family and first he acts calm and start to act angle to everyone.As the movie goes, he dose get bit more silly and he lose the tense feeling it had at the start of the movie and soon as he dose get his way, he start act evil again.Some of the attacks were a be strange, example (Small spoiler) Such as baby sister getting attacked by the Hammer, she dose not try to take it off him but runs away screaming, anyone with a brain would have knocked the kid down, got the Hammer off him but no, she runs around screaming from 9 year old lol.I loved the start of the movie, very chilling and shocking at the same time but the rest didn't feel keep that factor.rest of the movie decent watch and I enjoyed the last part of the movie, there. 6 out of 10

'Mikey' is a controversial film. I understand that, considering its strong subject. It is a well made movie with almost perfect pace, but one can't deny it is disturbing to see a child doing those horrible things.Likely 'The Good Son', which came out the year after this one, must have (to a degree) took some inspiration from this. They are both about a murderer child. However, 'Mikey' is considerably more violent than 'The Good Son'. The kid from 'Mikey' is more dangerous and brutal than the kid from 'The Good Son'. Just so you get an idea, Mikey punishes and kills a total of 8 people with no mercy (and we can add the fishes which deaths he is responsible for). In the very beginning of the film, Mikey already shows how much of a disturbed child he is by killing 3 people.However, we never really get to know how did Mikey become so evil, what made him turn out to be a mentally ill child. 'The Good Son' has the same issue. But likely it was to due to a past of strong childhood abuse.Unlike in 'The Good Son', however, here the villain doesn't die. Instead, he escapes, pretends his own death and changes his name for Josh so that he won't be caught.Brian Bonsall portrays very well the killer child. I also enjoyed Josie Bissett's performance as Jessie. Plus, Josie was hot in this.But, back to the main subject, Mikey is cute and apparently lovable. However, this makes him the perfect actor, because thanks to that he disguises very well his true nature. Mikey is one of the best examples of a «wolf in sheep's clothing».For people who find interesting the theme of psychopath children, I recommend this. But for those who get disturbed with it, I advice them to avoid this to all costs, especially at night - more sensitive people might have nightmares with this. People should beware: they are going to see things that will shock them.That said, the movie is interesting, thrilling, scary and intense. A reasonable movie. Funny it isn't. It is about a serious subject, not something to make fun of.
