People going on about how Home Alone ripped it off, when it started with a Rambo spoof and some crappy song ripped straight from Eye of the Tiger! lol. It was worth a single viewing but nothing special.
How did this get such good reviews and become known as a Christmas horror classic? This is one of the worst written, acted, and edited movies I've ever seen. The main kid has to be among the most unlikable protagonists ever put to film. I desperately hoped he would be killed. . . Sadly, no luck. Home Alone may have ripped off the premise of this movie, but it is about 1000x better than this piece of garbage. Just watch Home Alone! It even works better as a horror film than this crap.
I enjoyed how messed up this was
So fun and so obviously inspo for Home Alone
Top tier Christmas movie yearly tradition to watch
