The Killer Kid Movie So Disturbing It Was Banned

In 1992, a small psychological horror film called Mikey—starring a young Brian Bonsall as a seemingly innocent boy with a murderous streak—was quietly released… and almost just as quickly, it vanished.

In this video, we dive deep into the unsettling story of Mikey, the controversial film that was banned in the UK during the height of the video nasty panic, and how a devastating real-life tragedy involving child violence led to its abrupt withdrawal and lasting infamy.

📼 Was Mikey really too dangerous for audiences?
🎬 How did it get caught up in the moral outrage of the early '90s?
🩸 And how does it hold up today, decades later?

We explore the film’s troubled release history, the outrage it sparked, and the wider context of censorship and fear during a time when horror movies were being blamed for real-world violence.
