Well, it technically wasn't aimed for kids, hence the R rating, but I can imagine some would have taken/show their kids this assuming it was family friendly. To be honest, I don't find the R rating earned as far as content goes, as it feels very PG-13 in that regard, but it feels like it was done that way since Macaulay Culkin was at the height of his popularity and the filmmakers must have really wanted people to know that it was not kid friendly.
I understand what you're saying. I'm sure alot of people saw this movie but watching it as a young child had a emotional and psychological impact on me. Even at such a young age it had me questioning the psychology of people and the aspect of nature versus nurture. It freaked me out cuz I was so young and I kind of realized that some people are just born evil as hell.
I honestly love this movie. It’s perhaps my favorite movie with Elijah and Mcully. Yes Home Alone and LOTR are arguably and objectively better. But this movie really shows how some people are just born as psychopaths. And it’s a testament to their acting skills to make it look almost damn near convincing and real. And that’s what scares me, I can distinguish between reality and fiction just making a point here. This a good movie that shouldn’t be forgotten
It is always great how they asked a lot of their child actors back in the day. It is good to see them exhibit such talent. High standards and nothing but excellence needs to be the norm again.
The had the gall to not even mention Elijah Wood in the trailer??? I haven't watched this movie but, by the look of this trailer, it looks like he gave a great performance for his age!
Yeah, Elijah was not a big time actor whenever he got this supporting role. It was basically viewed as "a chance to work with the Home Alone kid" at this point in time which was an enormous hit. This movie actually helped out push him further up the ranks to where he is is today.
Looking at this movie you get to see two child actors one went on to be successful the other well struggled but then again I think there’s still friends
I liked how the movie actually ended. It felt more realistic. Besides movies depicting psychopathic evil kids hardly exists so I think this is great how it is!
@@rovhalt6650 Henry tells his cousin Mark that he intends to harm his sister. He pulls his sister onto a thin layer of ice where every one can see him. He throws a human-sized doll onto a street and triggers a pile-up, despite the police investigation that this action would trigger. He behaves more like a wacky idiot who does not care what happens to him than an intelligent and manipulative psychopath. How can such a boy hide his true character from his family? You cannot blame Macaulay Culkin, but you can blame the screenwriter.
It is scary to know that psychopaths are real. They do prey on anyone and everyone. All we can do is be aware of such people and always be on our guard around people we don't know. Definitely something to think about.
this ain't a kid movie it messed me up as a kid sadly my parents got the movie because of well "the title" and they probably thought it was another home alone movie because Macaulay Culkin was in it.
I don’t, I bet they had a lot of fun with it. In fact, Elijah Wood said himself that he was more excited about being casted in a major role along side with the the already famous Macaulay Culkin and Culkin himself loved playing this character from what I heard
Great film. I remember when this film came out, critics gave it negative reviews because they didn't want to see Macaulay Culkin playing a dark character. This was a couple years after Home Alone.. I always thought those critics should've been fired from their positions. What a dumb reason to dislike a movie. Roger Ebert said the film was "a creepy, unpleasant experience.".. I thought to myself, yeah, that's why Iove this movie.
Oh. Elijah is definitley a much better actor now he can ACT💯💯!!! always amazed me how well he can emote, such a talent. and not only had success as a child actor but also as an award winning adult actor as well..
They should’ve made this a home alone spin off. Show how 1 and 2 had traumatized Kevin and he needed to go stay with his relatives, away from New York. And this the side you get from him 😈
Damn, Elijah and Kulkin were incredible good in this film . Critics gave it bad reviews but watching this a kid I enjoyed the thrill and all the trama . 25 years later watched again and I think it’s a classic!👌🏻. I hope the movie gets it’s deserved praise one day .
The picture of the little brother who “mysteriously” drowned always got me. And even way back then as a kid watching this I wondered if it was a picture of Mac or his brother Kieran 😮
To this day this movie scared me. You gotta give props to Mcully and the way the film was shot. Definitely great child actor who portrayed good and evil.
Good movie. Very disturbing. I remember borrowing its cd from a classmate, expecting it to be similar to Home alone because of the main character and I was shocked by what I was seeing. Definitely wasn't old enough to watch it. I'm sure the Home alone kid being the psychopathic main character is also what made the movie muchmore disturbing. Frodo was also quite good in it.

McCauley Culkin plays the perfect villain. He is creepy, I thought so in his Home Alone series. they were great I am not saying they were bad but my gut said he was not for a good kid movie. Well he did turn out not so good and definitely not cute. I guess he really did have talent to play different roles.

This is perhaps just a coincidence, ever since Macaulay Culkin preformed these movies, when he was in “The PageMaster” his character has a fear of heights, and in this movie it gets us viewers feeling afraid of high shots, an probably there was a connection with Macaulay’s characters he played as.
This movie was so disturbing. I was so angry at Henry throughout this entire movie. As hard as it can be, it is best to stay calm in these situations. Because if you snap, the facts will be reversed to make you look like the bad guy.
I think people like Henry end up running the world when they grow up & that’s why the world has always been a messed up place. Power, control, scaring people, not caring if good people get hurt. This movie may have been trying to shed a light on the fact that they were children once. Shed a light on the fact that people can be born bad & can have those types of tendencies as children & we, as adults, need to look out for the signs
Dark and twisted beyond belief. To see Macaulay Culkin go from the innocent Home Alone 1 and 2 kid to the literal devil child is a lot to take in. Absolutely insane ending.
I remember thinking Quinn was a spitting image of Macaulay. Over 30 years later and I don’t think that anymore. Quinn must be starting to look more like their mother now

The Good Son really could have benefited from a stronger script, but the performances of Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood are what sells it for me.

Young Elijah was just the sweetest thing ever ❤
Culkin was dynamite in this movie. Played the weirdo to perfection.
Yep, it's interesting to see the Home Alone kid play a villainous role.
He’s not just a weirdo. He’s a downright psycho.
he was good when he was a child, didn't heard or saw of any of his stuff as an adult though
He didn’t play a weirdo he played a psychopath
@@cespedesgarciawell he played one caracter is Amerikan horror story that season with vampires i cant think of any thing else

He played by the same actor Macaulay Culkin
I can't believe they were such great actors as kids. I wish kid actors these days were as good as them in the 80s and 90s. And all actors in general.
Was a good depiction of what a psychopath is actually like. It's why the movie is so unnerving.
This feels like an episode of any horror show. Just watching this you feel the adrenaline pumping up. And this is just the trailer!

Look how he portrayed this character
He was crazy 😂 😂. Good performance 👏🏾

He had some prior roles, but just wasn't the superstar that Macaulay Culkin had become in the early 90's.

Little Elijah was one of the best child actors I've ever seen in this movie. For sure.
Excellent film. Dark with no happy ending. A refreshing psychological thriller.

This is the most Underrated movie of all time history
This movie showed Macs range! Sad that he didn’t go on and play a big villain or any type of characters when he became an adult
If I let you go do you think you can fly......... goose bumps...
"If I let you go...you think you could fly?" is burned into my brain since childhood.
Looking at this movie you get to see two child actors one went on to be successful the other well struggled but then again I think there’s still friends
What if they pulled a twist at the end where Henry wasn’t a real person but was just mark’s alter ego.
I liked how the movie actually ended. It felt more realistic. Besides movies depicting psychopathic evil kids hardly exists so I think this is great how it is!
This movie isn't well made, but I like the good acting of Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin. Macaulay Culkin played a good villain.
