Bad Milo! is sick—but it’s the right kind of sick. Read full review

Call it odious, call it repugnant, call it downright nasty – just don't call it dumb. Read full review

Rarely goes so far over the top that it loses you completely. It is, to put it mildly, not subtle. But if you watch it expecting to see a dumb idea executed with appreciable skill, you'll have a blast. Read full review

Portland OregonianMarc MohanOct 3, 2013
If your tolerance for envelope-pushing crudeness and deadpan delirium allows it, this crass comedy might be just what the gastroenterologist ordered. Read full review

IndieWireEric KohnOct 2, 2013
The capacity for "Milo" to foreground its human character over his unspeakably nasty situation makes the whole package go down a lot better than one might expect. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenSep 29, 2013
It's fair to say that a filmmaker is thinking outside of the box when he or she stages a scene in which an ambulatory hemorrhoid tears a guy's cock off with its teeth and swallows it. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangOct 3, 2013
Its lo-fi charms — the cutesy-scary monster design, earnest family values and Danny Elfman-esque soundtrack — make the film feel like an '80s throwback in a way that justifies the nostalgia. Read full review

The DissolveNathan RabinSep 4, 2013
Bad Milo! gets nasty laughs out of putting its overmatched hero through a gauntlet of comic humiliations, but it works just as well as a dark allegory about the way we handle our demons. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghOct 8, 2013
Props to Bad Milo for its fearlessly pulp approach in exploring well-worn characters and their ho-hum dilemmas, but you know you’ve got a dull story on your hands when not even a butt monster can jazz it up enough. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOct 3, 2013
What could have been a very funny short film about self-control and befriending your id instead becomes a rambling commentary on father-son dysfunction and the limits of proctology. Read full review

The PlaylistGabe ToroOct 3, 2013
Bad Milo! is ultimately a fairly pedestrian film, but in those moments where Milo takes action, if you squint, there’s just a little bit of that old-fashioned movie magic. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezOct 24, 2013
Bad Milo! directly envokes a number of earlier pictures Vaughan clearly adores, including "Basket Case," "It’s Alive" and even the workplace satire "Office Space." But the movie fails to ground its promising (if preposterous) scenario in any kind of recognizable reality. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyOct 2, 2013
:ike a lot of intentionally shoddy or derivative movies, Bad Milo! can’t overcome what it’s trying to be. It’s neither focused enough to work as straight parody, nor outrageous enough to be appreciated for its excess; it’s a movie about butt monsters where butts are never shown. Read full review
