''The Good Son'' is a 1993 film starring [[Home Alone|Macaulay Culkin]] and [[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|Elijah Wood]]. The film was directed by [[Joseph Ruben]], previously known for such films as "[[The Stepfather]]" (1987) and "[[Sleeping Withwith the Enemy]]" (1991)
 
It is about Henry Evans, played by Macaulay, a psychopathic kid terrorizing his cousin, Mark (Elijah Wood). Mark tries incredibly hard to convince his family that Henry is psychotic and evil, [[Obviously Evil|a fact that should be noticed even if you're three miles away]], Mark tries to stop Henry from getting worse, but fails to do so...

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Yes, The ''[[Home Alone]]'' kid really did say "Don't fuck with me."
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: {{spoiler|Henry tries this on Susan in the end. It epically backfires.}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When they meet the first time Henry gives Mark [[Halloween (Filmfilm)|a white mask made of paper and glue]].
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: ''Many'' critics decried the casting of Macaulay Culkin in the role thanks to his kid-friendly ''[[Home Alone]]'' series, many children hero-worshiped him and marketing research indicated extreme interest by children in the film [[Contractual Purity|entirely because of Culkin's presence]]. If the number of anecdotes by people mentioning this film gave them nightmares indicates, they probably saw it anyway in spite of the R-rating.
** People ''don't like it'' when you weaponize the break from [[Contractual Purity]].
