Duncan's (Ken Marino) life is a real pain in the ass. Tormented by a manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton), a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place) with a boyfriend 1/3 her age, a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root), and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare), who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay.

When a demon crawls out of your rectum, against which even a morning detox after an evening of eating chilli is a walk in the park, something is wrong. The film’s ideas are good, and it’s got a bit of bizarreness, but otherwise, it's an extreme bit of boredom, in which the fecal humor isn’t the issue, as the creators promised, but rather the lack thereof. It’s funny at the elementary school level.

It’s not the aggressive shite I was expecting, but it’s still weak. Few jokes, little fun.

A cheap horror comedy about a rectal monster that climbs out of a man’s ass (which, however, is part of his subconscious and arose from accumulated stress) and kills people toward whom the main protagonist feels negative emotions. This is C-level bullshit has its fun parts (the quite funny Peter Stormare in the role of the therapist), but even the occasional hilarious joke does not cover up the terrible failure, terrible screenplay and plot, and unfunny fecal humor.
