Claire,
Abigail, and two of their friends are young girls who witness a
brutal murder. While playing a game, they see a slightly older boy
named Milo kill one of their classmates. Years pass and most of the
girls get over what they saw. When one of the women begins working as
a schoolteacher, she's mysteriously killed and Claire (Jennifer
Jostyn, "House of 1,000 Corpses") decides to move back to
her former hometown and take over her job at the school.
Unfortunately for Claire, Milo is still out there and he wants his
revenge. When she starts seeing a little boy in a yellow slicker in
town, she knows that something is wrong.
When
I was a teenager, my brother and I would often rent a bunch of horror
movies and watch them together. I'm pretty sure we either rented this
one from Kroger, back when it had a rental place, or Blockbuster,
back when Dayton actually had Blockbuster stores. It was one of those
horror movies that I remembered fondly because we would sometimes
joke around when we saw a kid wearing a yellow slicker. I didn't
realize how much that image stuck with me until I was out shopping a
few weeks ago and saw a kid wearing one of these jackets. The first
thing I said was, "hey look! It's Milo," which led to
strange looks from my friends.
"Milo"
doesn't hold up as well as some of the other bad/cheesy 1990's horror
movies. I watched it one night by myself, and I found myself staring
off into space or focusing on something else instead of actually
watching the movie. Granted the love that I once had for the movie,
it was a little sad.
