Info

Mikey just needs a good stable home. He's bounced from foster home to foster home his whole life. He finally lands himself with a new loving family, but their perfect little child is not what he appears to be. His previous caretakers all died of mysterious "accidents" that weren't really accidents at all. Mikey is a cold blooded killer, and it doesn't take long for him to aim his sights on his new adoptive family and anyone else who stands in his way.

Mikey Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Atreyu_II '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.
andell I don't have a lot to say about this movie, except that people who actually found this film entertaining or gave it a good review are the sort of people that really do scare me.Mikey is a miniature psychopath who frankly, doesn't actually have a reason for the development of his psychotic behavior! He kills a little girl by luring her into a swimming pool and letter her drown. This grotesque murder of the innocent in and of itself is what I found truly despicable! Of course naturally this miniature psychopath gets away with it, but thankfully no sequel was ever made! Good riddance!This is not to say that young killers can not be justified in any sense- it just means that the young killer in this film was tasteless. It seems to me that the development of the psychopath child in "Friday the 13th: The Orphan" was more worthy of viewing.
lovingtouch72 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.
dollpenguin This movie was not exceptionally original, but it stays very interesting throughout. The violence was well constructed, the pacing was perfect, and the acting was above average for this type of film. Brian Bonsall did a wonderful job playing the psychotic killer. One of the things that I especially liked was that his victims were all average people that were easy to relate to. Although they were believable, this movie is still more entertaining than scary.This movie isn't going to make you think, but for pure entertainment value it is quite good. I love these kinds of horror movies, my favorites probably being Silent Night Deadly Night and Sleepaway Camp. If you enjoy those two movies you will probably like this one as well.
