I have found with this movie that you either like it, or you dont. I, for one, love the movie.

**SPOILERS** Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood do awesome jobs portraying Henry and Mark Evans, respectively. After Mark's mother dies, he is sent to live with his Uncle Wallace, Aunt Susan, and Cousins Henry and Connie (Culkin's real life sister, Quinn). Mark and Henry become instant friends, but after a period of time, Mark starts to learn of Henry's real intentions. Behind Henry's angelic smile lives a demented preteen with a love of evil games. At first, Henry, along with Mark, do more innocent crimes... Smoking and throwing rocks through a newly built building. Those small crimes roll up into death threats, killing animals, and attempted murders to family. Mark tries to convince that Henry's the bad one, but Henry has everyone fooled... including a therapist!

Many critics of this movie rant about Macaulay's acting skills. While they werent up to Elijah Wood's skills, he held his own. You have to get into the character of Henry to understand why Macaulay didnt portray Henry as having a wide variety of emotions. Henry believed he was smarter than the adults... Thats why he wasnt terrified in the end scene as Mark was.

I give the movie a 9/10.

I went to go see this movie with my sister, and boy was I confused! There are a lot of flashbacks, and even a time where there is a flashback within a flashback. There wasn't THAT much suspense in it, but it wasnt completely horrible. Katie Holmes is one of my favorite actresses, and I absolutely LOVE Dawson's Creek, but I think she should quit with the horror... I think she is a lot better in the drama category. Overall, I give it a 4/10.

I love this Disney Movie! Its a real cute movie, and when it comes on again, I will have to make a mental note to tape it. I really like how they break into the bank trying to find Susie's parents information. You should really see this movie. Its great for the whole family.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** This is one of my favorite Lifetime movies! A lot of my favorite actors and actresses are in it. Some include Amy Jo Johnson, Mario Lopez, Michelle Williams, and Scott Bairstow. The only bad part about the movie is that its pretty predictable. Also, the end is unlogical. When the teens admit to killing Mr. Griffin, Amy's character (Susan McConnell) is allowed to go home. In real life, that would have never happened.

Ok, I remember LOVING Power Rangers when I was younger. The person who commented on this, about Power Ranges being bad, I totally have to disagree with you. In all the episodes, it always teaches a lesson. Sometimes you have to really pay attention to understand what the lesson is. When I was younger, I adored the rangers! I am still a big fan of Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly), Blake Foster(Justin), Walter Jones(Zack), and Jason David Frank(Tommy). When I was younger, I could tell you anything and everything about Power Rangers. I knew EVERYTHING about it. Now, I am 13, and hardly remember it at all. I admit, Wild Force is kinda retarded, but the orignal was really good.
