Duncan’s life is a real pain in the ass. He’s been having a tough time at work, and things at home aren’t any better. His parents give him nothing but grief, while his boss seems driven by rage, anger, and a callous disregard for the law. When Duncan (Ken Marino) starts to feel intense gastrointestinal pain, his wife’s words do little to comfort him, especially after she tells him she’s pregnant.

But after he starts seeing a psychiatrist, Duncan learns that all his stress has pent up…into a small demon that’s taken up residence in his ass. The demon only emerges to feed off the stress in Duncan’s life, and his psychiatrist warns that Duncan and the demon (named Milo) cannot survive without each other. While vicious Milo is more than willing to attack Duncan’s tormentors, Duncan must come to grips with his stress in an effort to befriend Milo—before everyone he cares about ends up dead.

SCREENING WITH: Liebe (Love).
