I heard about this film when going through a list of banned films. This film was banned in the UK because of the James Bulger case & still today. Though I caught this one on YouTube. The film didn't have much of a story to it but it was pretty dark & evil in most places!
The film doesn't waste much time & pretty much gets stuck in with 3 kills of his foster parents in the space of 7 minutes approximately! The kills are pretty disturbing! Especially the one where he kills the youngest daughter Beth, where he wobbles the diving board until she falls in & drowns. Although you don't see this, the sound of the splashing stopping suddenly implies that she died! I thought this was pretty evil & twisted! Then the mum who he plainly just electrocutes with a hairdryer whiles she's taking a bath! Then the father who comes home & sees his dead daughter lying lifeless in the pool & swiftly in shock, he slips on the marbles that Mikey laid out & he smashes through the door only for Mikey to brutally bludgeon him with a steel bat! This was a bloody scene! Nasty!
Police arrive & Mikey tells them it was a man who done it. They believe him & he gets adopted by another family! Uh Oh!
Then for the space of 40 minutes no deaths occur, which now would be bad considering this film is a horror, but he bonds well with the new foster parents hes been put with! He crushes on the next door neighbours daughter, Jessie & gets jealous when he sees her & with her boyfriend. He then kills him off after a failed attempt at getting her to dislike him by killing Jessie's cat, Rosie! Evil or what! He begins to worry the teacher at his school (whose friends with his foster mum) when he draws depraved pictures with blood in them & self harms himself at school. His teacher then begins to start digging deeper into his Mikey's past & find out about the murders of his previous family. It's only then after killing Jessie's boyfriend off (when Mikey embraces her) that she suspects that he killed him. His foster mum also suspects this after an incident & a slight death threat involving electrocution!
Mikey then starts to kill off the rest of the family! His step mum with a hammer & slitting her throat via a fall through the balcony. His gym teacher with a bow & arrow & his mum friend teacher with a slingshot! This is the point of the film which got crazy! He also at one point terrorizes Jessie & nearly kills her!
Then to top it off he blows up the house with his stepfather inside (not before using the same fashion of "Hi dad!" he did with his previous father) Then afterwards Mikey gets adopted by new parents & calls himself Josh & well...the whole thing starts all over again! Creepy...!
The film was pretty good & had a level of darkness & sheer creepiness about the kid who looked & was pure evil! The blood was alright in this fill as were the kills, though some could've been abit better! Story was abit simple, though it's not explained why Mikey was evil in the first place! But it was overall a good film with a twisted premise!
Overall, it was a good film! But it lacked a few things here & there! But it was a decent film! I recommend it to all Horror fans!
