Summary

We’re ending Alright Scary the way we started it, with another slick early 90s thriller delivering a TV movie story with a lobster dinner budget, a sweeping score by a legendary composer and a rising Hollywood star front and center of any promotional materials. 1993’s “The Good Son” is a chilly, unsettling turn in Macaulay Culkin’s career, but we’re more concerned with Wendy Crewson’s Susan, the Good Mom, caught between Henry the Bad Seed of coastal Maine and Mark who believes she’s the reincarnation of his dead mother. And let’s not even talk about Connie, but let’s definitely talk about the implications of that iconic cliffside climax. We also get those Culkins straight, sing the spoiler-free praises of “Orphan” and try to get to the bottom of this treehouse situation. Want even more Alright Mary?
