The Good Son ( 1993 ) :-

One of top best psychological thriller i seen so far, with such a fascinating and gripping screenplay. Movies prominent characters are two well known celebrities Home alone fame Macaulay Culkin as Henry and Lord of rings fame Elijah Wood as mark. The way director Joseph Ruben Slowly induces the thrill to the movie is just amazing and sure brilliantly done. First 15 minutes of the movie makes you feel that this is going to be one hell of best poetic movie for being the best BGM and visuals together , but how it slowly transforms itself to a much deeper side is damn shivering and spine chilling. No wonder the plot is Dark, thrilling and mysterious

Story in simple words , Following mark's mother demise his father takes him to his uncles place for the reason being he has to go to a unavoidable business trip . Mark befriends his cousins there Henry & his sister Connie and at same time mark becomes close to Henry's mother Susan. Things go fine with mark & henry but his violent behavior slowly start to fall up and mark starts to notice the evil side of him. Being too possessive Things gets heated up when henry cant take anymore of it seeing his mother caring a motherless child Mark so much and this provokes more evil in him. This even escalates to a level where hency try to kill her own sister too just because she is close to Mark and added to that Mark believes that henry was the one who killed his own younger brother a year back. As things fall apart now , Mark slowly notices the change and takes step to notify his dad , his aunt Susan and everyone. Would everyone believe his words , would things be normal again and will henry recover himself falls the rest of the story and i would say a surprising part of the story.Suspense element of the movie was sure maintained till the end without any clues anywhere.

There is so much this movie delivers and its just awesome all the way through. Macaulay Culkin acting was brillant and at same time Elijah Wood performance was too good , charismatic and enjoyable. Every scene is so thrilling and how brilliantly henry would lie to his parents having henry tangled in those lies was really scary. Everyone believe that the god resides on children's heart but seeing this movie , you may tend to think twice , for it would sure have such a after affect on us. The last scene when Susan had to decide which child she had to save was just touching. This is sure a fast moving highly charged thriller you wouldn't wanna miss ever...!! I would definitely suggest everyone to watch it without a miss .
