MILO

Four girls witness the murder of one of their classmates by a strange boy named Milo Jeeder. Sixteen years later, the four find themselves back in the same town that was the scene of that horrible crime; they are not afraid to meet Milo again because they believe he drowned in the river where he fell after the murder, but that is not the case: the mad killer returns, not aged at all despite the almost twenty years that have passed, to hunt them down. Never released in Italian theaters (which, as usual, prefer to schedule the "works" of the Vanzina brothers), this "Milo" is a classic slasher-movie not lacking in some good ideas and a good dose of suspense that make it preferable, for example, to other more famous films of the genre in recent years (such as, for example, the two sequels of "Scream"). Of course, the clichés are the usual ones: hooded killer (this time with a flashy yellow raincoat) and practically immortal, girls chased, "incredulous" police but the whole thing is rather well crafted and is therefore not boring or heavy. In short, a decent film, that will not make the history of the genre, but that is worth watching.
