Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the 1990 novel 'The Good Son' by British author Celia Fremlin, not to be confused with the Macaulay Culkin film of the same name.
Released straight-to-video in the dying days of the erotic thriller boom, this represents the genre's awkward pivot toward 'respectable' psychological suspense.
