An impossible=to-understand movie in which Another Culkin plays an asshole—you can tell because everybody calls him “asshole”—goes back to his childhood home following the death of his father and Culkins around the house while his mother, played by Lin Shaye, Lin Shayes around. A twin brother killed as an infant may or may not have existed appears and disappears as a plot element, a predatory gay neighbor tries to predatorily gay him, everybody is an assholes to everybody else, which escalates to violence as mysterious tapes from the past appear, demons or some supernatural claptrap happens, and finally the entire endeavor faces the ultimate misfortune: an overly familiar, cliched plot twist that still somehow manages not to make sense.
Another Culkin sure does Culkin, though. Boy, if you want to make a movie about someone Culkining around the house, you couldn’t ask for much better, if that’s the right word.
I wonder how many of those people there are.
