A stressed-out man (Ken Marino) learns that his unusual stomach pains are being caused by a demon living in his intestines, and that excessive anxiety causes the creature to escape and slaughter the man's tormentors.
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.

Bad Milo! is one bad ass movie-as opposed to a badass one.
disgusting and grotesque, but also funny throughout, and amiable precisely because of its great affection for even the most odious of its characters, as befits a film so preoccupied with arseholes.
The idea of watching Ken Marino argue with a giant haemorrhoid monster that has just popped out of his butt seems like a crazy must-see moment. Unfortunately, it comes across as flat and uninspired.
