TheBlueHairedLawyer 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.

tomgillespie2002 One of the forgotten films of those to feel the wrath of the 80's and 90's censorship madness, Mikey has a more genuinely sinister feel to it than the others. Still banned outright in the UK, it tells the story of a young boy name Mikey Holt (Brian Bonsall). We see him first of all getting told off by his adoptive parents for lighting a fire inside the house, so he gains revenge by murdering the lot of them. The father especially gets it bad as he receives a baseball bat to the head from our pubeless protagonist. Unable to solve the murder, the police are quick to relocate Mikey with a new family, who at first warm to their lovable new son. But as he falls for his best friend's sister, and his behaviour starts to get stranger, his school teacher begins to suspect something is not quite right.Generally thought of as being a 'video nasty', this wasn't actually on the official government list. Strange, considering it is far worse than the majority of the others. What it does share with a lot of the ones that did make the list, such as The Driller Killer and Blood Feast, is that it does lack in quality. Mikey obviously has a bit of a budget, but it's filmed in that TV Movie Of The Week style that makes it look like it should star Shannon Tweed. A lot of the plot developments either don't make sense or are just unrealistic, such as his current teacher phoning his old school and asking them about Mikey (as she suspects something is amiss), only for the teacher on the other end of the phone to give her everything she knows about him straight away. The film has been compared to Child's Play, but Mikey doesn't share the former's comic humour. A decent idea, but the film can't seem to escape it's exploitation roots.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

insomniac_rod I remember renting this once in a while back in the early 90's. I had fun with it although it's a predictable slasher flick.The plot was easy to follow and entertaining as I remember. There were some good death scenes and amusing acting.The Mikey character was truly good and that's because of the talented child actor who portrayed it.I remember a death scene involving a pool. Nice sequences and decent gore.I haven't rented this one in years but I have good memories about it. As far as I remember, it's a decent, entertaining slasher. Recommended for slasher hard core fans or those who enjoy killer child flicks. As someone else mentioned, this movie always reminds me of "The Stepfather".

jeffman52001 I thought this movie really is cool. In real life there are young psychopaths out there too. This movie demonstrates that there are psychotic kids out there who might end up like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, David Berkowitz a.k.a. The Son Of Sam, and John Wayne Gacy too.Mikey, played superbly by Brian Bonsall (Family Ties and Star Trek: The Next Generation) is a little boy who lives with foster parents and he ends up killing them, he causes his foster sister to drown in a pool, electrocutes his foster mother and hits his foster dad with a bat. He video tapes it too. Mikey is a wacko kid. Mikey tells the police it was a man who murdered his foster parents.Mikey is placed in another foster home, things go great for the foster family till Mikey goes on his killing spree. Mikey's teacher, played by Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser 1, 2, 3, and 6) notices something about his drawing that is psychotic behavior. Mikey's principal, played by Lyman Ward (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) doesn't think that it is a big deal. Mikey has a crush on an older girl, played by Josie Bissett(Melrose Place), she can tell Mikey is a psycho. Mikey's foster parents are starting to get suspicious of Mikey. Mikey over heard his foster mother say about adopting Mikey was a big mistake, that is why Mikey ends up killing them and the Principal and his teacher. Mikey gets away.I think this movie is awesome, I give it 2 thumbs up and 10/10 stars.
