Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Ty BurrThe Good Son delivers its knuckle-gnawing set pieces with a skill that makes other thrillers look logy.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Robert FairesAn above-average “killer kid from hell” picture. Not The Bad Seed but not bad.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinThe Good Son has a handsome, scenic look that sustains interest, and a suspenseful ending that is quite literally gripping. The film's final scene is one of its few suspenseful and original moments.
Entertainment Weekly - 6/10 by Glenn Kenny(Culkin's) attempt to broaden his range with the not-for-kids thriller The Good Son — in a part that calls for complex emotions rather than amusing reactions-comes up way short.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Barbara ShulgasserCreepy '90s thriller about murderous kid has violence.
Variety - 6/10 by Brian LowryThe bizarre prospect of Macaulay Culkin as a latter-day "bad seed" should prompt enough curiosity to generate initial box office visits, but this peculiar thriller doesn't deliver enough jolts to leave the audience screaming.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 6/10 by James SanfordAn unintentionally uproarious melodrama; a must-see for fans of the truly terrible
Hartford Courant - 6/10 by Malcolm JohnsonUnhappily, although Ian McEwan's screenplay has its strong points, and Ruben skillfully builds tension and suspense, this updated, gender-bent Bad Seed falters at key points.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Bill CosfordCulkin's best comedy ever. If only this movie wasn't supposed to be a horror picture.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 5/10 by Scott RenshawCulkin shows that he might be more than a one-trick pony given a little seasoning. It just might be a good idea if his next trick is something original.
