We need to talk about Kevin.
On the outside, Home Alone is about a boy who has to defend his house from two criminals after being left behind on a family trip. But let’s cut the shit. Kevin wasn’t trying to save his house. He was trying to kill two men. Kevin takes pleasure in other people’s pain. He is a sadist.

Our first warning sign of Kevin being a totally dark-sided problematic child happens early in the movie when we see Kevin fully ecstatic about his parents “disappearing.”
