Mikey

About This Movie

Mikey (1992) is one of those oddball horror flicks that leans into the dark humor of childhood gone wrong. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of adds to the vibe. The premise is pretty straightforward—a kid with a penchant for violence—but it plays out in a way that’s both unsettling and oddly fascinating. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but they have a certain charm. The performances, especially from the young actor playing Mikey, are surprisingly strong for a film of this nature. You can tell they were aiming for a blend of thriller and dark comedy. Overall, it’s a unique slice of early '90s horror that stands out, mainly due to its bizarre concept and execution.
