Review of The Good Son (1993) by Elester W — 10 Aug 2010

There are few movies you could compare this too, the only ones I could think of is Orphan (2009) and the Omen (2006). This did though have a Twilight Zone feel to it.

This movie was just so creepy and so disturbing that I had to give it 5 stars.

Honestly , it could use a remake, but the fact that it retained its creepiness still to this day is fascinating. Normally I don't bother looking at movies that are greater than 10 years old, but I am glad I broke that to see this.

However, reiterating what another user said, I really don't get who exactly the target age for this movie was. I guess I could classify this movie as "family horror" designed to give preteens a scary movie without the typical violence of modern rated R thriller films.
