"Home Alone" actor Macaulay Culkin comes back as an unstable Kevin McCallister in a new short.
Entitled "Just Me In The House By Myself," the clip uploaded by Jack Dishel features an older and traumatized McCallister who has no problems when it comes to torturing a burglar. Culkin's take on McCallister in the clip was disturbing, according to Realty TV World.
In the clip, McCallister is introduced as the unstable husband of a driving app worker, who takes over his wife's post for the day. Since the character does not drive, Dishel, who plays the app customer in need of a ride, offers to drivee himself using McCallister's car.
While on their way, McCallister recalls the classic "Home Alone" story as a traumatic event in his life. McCasllister said that he had defended his house from two psychopath home invaders and he still had nightmare of the bald weirdo dude chasing him arouns, talking like Yosemite Sam. He added that they had not even cursed.
As they park the car, a man holding a gun approached them and demanded them to get out. McCallister told the man that he had picked the wrong car.
The next scene saw McCallister and the customer in a dark shed with the attacker tied in a chair. As the credits roll, the unstable McCallister describes the painful torture he will put the man through. Screams followed.
According to Collider, "Just Me In The House By Myself" was a "pretty funny" update on McCallister, with Culkin not only reprising the role, but also acknowleding the truth behidn the troubling issues revolving the premise of the "Home Alone" franchise. With the clip, some fans also find it interesting to see a potential "Home Alone 3" in the future, which could be set about 26 years since the 1990's "Home Alone."
Released on Nov. 16, 1990 in the United States, Chris Columbus' "Home Alone" followed eight-year old McCallister as he protects his home from a burglar duo when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas Vacation.
A sequel followed the first film on Nov. 20, 1992. Entitled "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," the sequel is set a year after the incident in McCallister's home. He accidentally finds himself in New York City, with the same criminals not far behind.
Aside from Columbus' "Home Alone" films, Culkin also appeared in Howard Zieff's family film "My Girl," Donald Petrie's family comedy "Richie Rich," and the series "The Jim Gaffigan Show." The actor is set to appear in Adam Green's "Aladdin," which has a poetic, comedic, and modernized take on Disney's classic tale.
