Reviews for The Good Son
Top CriticA second-rate thriller with first-rate production values.
07/25/07
This peculiar thriller doesn't deliver enough jolts to leave the audience screaming.

Top CriticThere's wonderful use made of a Maine port town, and Ruben gets a dizzying thrill or two out of overhead shots, but the conceptual overload finally prevents this from coming together.

Not a good movie, but a creepy performance by Culkin rescues it.

An unintentionally uproarious melodrama; a must-see for fans of the truly terrible
07/15/03
The Good Son has a handsome, scenic look that sustains interest, and a suspenseful ending that is quite literally gripping.

Not The Bad Seed but not bad.

Tacky, sloppy genre exercise about how when screws are loose, even children can be psychotic.

You sit there laughing at Culkin's best comedy ever. If only this movie wasn't supposed to be a horror picture.
