A tense and gripping thriller, Hey, Kiddo fuses found-footage aesthetics with escalating psychological horror to chilling effect. John Medlin crafts sharply defined characters and dialogue that shifts from casual realism to mounting dread with precision. The play’s inventive staging and brutal twists keep the audience off-balance, culminating in a disturbing and unforgettable confrontation that lingers well beyond the final moment.

Truly scary. All the elements are there. It would make a great movie for sure. I felt uncomfortable right from the beginning. It takes a lot of talent to write something this scary.

"Hey, Kiddo" is a thriller from the start, easily drawing me into the world of the play in the first few pages. The concept of the multimedia aspect of the play with the found footage is brilliant, and would be a treat for a production team to sink their teeth, or axes, into. This would be an amazing play to stage, with its compelling characters like Jonathan and Katye, and even Michael, in a way, and its interesting use of tech.
