THE GOOD SON
Isn't it strange how some famous child actors are able to make the transition to adult stardom successfully while others are not? Point in case is the two lead actors in this movie. Elijah Wood starred in many movies as a child and then went on to become a success as an adult actor in own right. Macaulay Culkin on the other hand also starred in a number of movies as a child but never seemed to have been able to make the transition...
Be that as it may, back to The Good Son: This 1993 film is basically about the age old struggle between good and evil, regardless of the "face" it comes in. Initially, cousins Mark (Elijah Wood) and Henry (Macaulay Culkin) are the best of pals. But then Mark realizes that the angelic appearing Henry is not at all what he seems.
The acting from both boys are outstanding and so is that of the rest of the cast. The story is arresting and the suspense gradually builds up to a very climactic ending. I think it is quite a good movie and can recommend it to all thrill seekers as a good escape. Overall I rewarded it 3 out of 5 stars.
