NOTE: This is a cut-down version of my review from year-round protect VideoNastyAWeek.co.uk, Where it was this weeks movie (despite not being an official "Video Nasty - Explination over on that blog)
In the opening scenes, Mikey kills his adopted family, pretends a stranger did it, and is quickly re-alloated to a new couple who, for some reason, are not told that Mikey (supposedly) witnessed his last family being murdered - this sounds to me like the kind of information you might want to know about your kid, but hay-ho!
The remainder of the film is spent watching Mikey being just a little disturbed, before slowly degenerating into the calculating psychopath we already know him to be.
There's a VERY uncomfortable scene where the neighbours eldest (a girl in her late teens / early twenties) is blatantly flirting with the 10 year old Mikey!
All in all a lacklustre affair, Killer kid movies have been done FAR better!
