phanthinga 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.

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.

rsrungaram When me and my spouse rented this film I was very iffy about it. But boy did my mind changed! From the minute the film started I was glued to the screen! Brian Bonsall's acting is just incredible and brings the character of Mikey to life! The film blends the elements of drama, comedy and horror very well, with dramatic tension between the characters, witty one liners and heart pounding horror. I must see! The film however is very scary and will most likely be a fun riot when you and your colleages view this film together! And just like any movie, this film is best viewed with popcorn and a cold soda. I will love to go into detail on this film but I can't because it will just spoil this cult classic! But take my word! This film is loads of fun and bit of a good scare. So please head to your local video store and rent this great film....If you dare.

Mel J This film was actually banned in Britain since it was due for release in the same year as two ten-year-old boys abducted, tortured and murdered a two-year-old child. To this day, I don't understand that decision since nothing Mikey does reaches the scale of what those two sadistic monsters did nor does Mikey ever attempt to harm complete innocents but chooses his victims from people who have done him 'wrong'.Anyway, I've finally managed to get my hands on a copy and I have to say, I'm quite glad I did. It's definitely not a film to be taken seriously but it can be rather funny if viewed as a dark comedy. Obviously, there's huge plot holes such as how a ten-year-old can move from place-to-place without anyone checking on his background and why these people were able to adopt him in a matter of days. However, there is something slightly humorous in watching the rather stupid adults be played by a young, calculating boy.
