I never believed Culkin as a homicidal sociopath.


I don't know what it was about child actors born in the 70s and 80s, but many of them felt like they needed to take a role like this to shake off their "good boy/girl" image and prove they had actual acting chops. You saw it with Drew Barrymore in Poison Ivy, Macaulay Culkin in The Good Son, Anne Hathaway in Havoc, Amanda Seyfried in Chloe, and even 90s babies like Emma Roberts in Scream 4/American Horror Story. I suppose you can include Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons on this list but her career was already dead by that point.

Another example of this is when James Van Der Beek and Jessica Biel did The Rules of Attraction.
