About
As of 2026, it's 36 years old.
Home Alone is a heartwarming family Christmas movie that doubles as a surprisingly brutal manual for booby-trapping your own house. An eight-year-old is accidentally left behind at Christmas and defends his home from two burglars using a level of improvised violence that would, realistically, end careers in medicine.
Macaulay Culkin's face-clutching scream became the decade's defining image, and the film became a permanent holiday-season fixture.
Festive, hilarious, and quietly sadistic, Home Alone is the Christmas classic where the warm message is wrapped around a paint-can-to-the-face.
