Instead, exasperation was the primary emotion and don’t even get me started on Problem Child as I will likely go postal. Should he have jammed Kevin’s head in a vice, slammed it in a car door repeatedly, or even simply shot him in his foot, then I would have been a happy camper.

Tell me I’m wrong here and I’ll argue the toss until red in the face, but was I the only one watching John Hughes’s Home Alone desperate to see this little snot goblin receive his comeuppance? Come on Grueheads, don’t hold out on me.īungling burglars Harry and Marv had plenty of chances to even the scores and I spent the best part of 102 minutes just praying that Joe Pesci remembered the training Martin Scorsese provided him on how to crack a skull. Even outside of the genre, ankle-biters can yank my chain like few others, and I call to the stand a certain Kevin McCallister to elucidate my point further. The reason for this is elementary: more often than not they are granted immunity and, if there’s one thing in horror I don’t wish to feel, then it’s assured of anyone’s safe passage. It’s an unnecessary distraction and one that frustrates me to my very core. You see, while I get that children are the future and all that, there is one place that they are far less than welcome in my eyes.Ĭasting a child actor in a horror film is like inviting your mother-in-law to be on your Vegas stag weekend. However, we are here today with altogether different motivation. Indeed, my six-year-old son can brighten up the most overcast day and I cherish every last moment that we share together.
They view the world through wide eyes, whereas their elders become increasingly blinkered, and exhibit an enthusiasm that many of us misplace once we realize that life isn’t always fair. Where adults have a tendency to mask their true feelings, kids are honest in the extreme, often to the point of brutality, and I find their frankness wonderfully refreshing. Jimi Hendrix “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”Ĭhildren are a constant source of fascination to me.
