"If I let you go... do you think you could fly?"

Here is Elmer Bernstein's score for the 1993 thriller "The Good Son." Macaulay Culkin, shedding his "cute kid" image plays Henry Evans, a sick, disturbed, psychotic boy whose ideas of fun include killing the nieghbor's dog with a handmade crossbow and pushing a realistic looking dummy named "Mr. Highway" off of an overpass in busy traffic, causing a massive pileup. His parents (Wendy Crewson and Daniel Hugh Kelly) and sister (Quinn Culkin) don't suspect a thing, though, as he masks his evil behind a sweet, innocent, perfect son facade (he does it rather convincingly, let me tell you). He also may or may not have killed his baby brother in the bathtub some years prior. However, when Henry's cousin Mark (Elijah Wood) comes to stay for a little while when his recently-widowed father has to go on an important business trip, he begins to see right through Henry. Mark must try and stop Henry from haming the others in the family while trying desperately to get someone to believe that Henry is a threat.

The best track on this album, hands down, is the beautiful and haunting main title track. That's not to say that the rest of the album isn't good, too. Give it a download and see what you think.
