Bad Milo! Reviews
The Playlist
...Bad Milo! is about a man who has a monster that grows out of his ass and kills people. If you're not willing to get onboard with that premise, this isn't a movie that's going to sway your initial feelings.

It's funny, it's gross, and it has a few serious things on its mind. Is it any wonder David Cronenberg is thanked in the end credits?
Willamette Week
This is Marino's film all the way, and the comic vet of Wet Hot American Summer and Party Down effortlessly steps into the spotlight after decades in supporting roles.
Austin Chronicle
Call it odious, call it repugnant, call it downright nasty - just don't call it dumb.

On paper, "Bad Milo!" sounds loosey-goosey-crazy-go-nuts. But in practice, it's understated, if only in relation to its bonkers premise.

This movie is about a monster that crawls out of a man's butt and starts killing people.

Should entertain a certain pocket of comedy fans, particularly those happy for the rare chance to see the excellent Marino play a nice guy.

It's not every day one encounters a story about a man and the goblin that uses his rectum as a home, making the little triumphs of the feature worthy of a look, but only for those in the mood for something odd and a little icky.

The key to this largely amusing and unapologetically silly gross-out romp is Duncan's continuing astonishment at the grotesque situation he finds himself in.

Bad Milo is tremendously silly, but it's the kind of thing you either go with, or you don't. It's not perfect, but I had a pleasant time with it.

Just when you thought you've seen everything, here's a jaw-droppingly absurd horror comedy.

Bad Milo! is sick -- but it's the right kind of sick.

If your tolerance for envelope-pushing crudeness and deadpan delirium allows it, this crass comedy might be just what the gastroenterologist ordered.

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.

The Dissolve
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.

We Got This Covered
Bad Milo! makes the topic of an ass-dwelling stress monster into a weirdly touching, gleefully brutal, and always entertaining horror comedy about man's unexpected best friend.

The concept runs out of gas well before the end despite the best efforts of Marino and an eclectic supporting cast.
Common Sense Media
Bad Milo probably wanted to be gleefully naughty, but instead it's just bad.

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.
