18 Moments That Will Ruin Home Alone For You

12. Kevin Screams In To The Camera

Even if you€™ve only seen Home Alone once and that was many, many moons ago, the one lasting memory you€™ll have is of Macaulay Culkin€™s Kevin screaming€ and screaming€ and screaming. Literally, all that kid does for a certain portion of the movie is scream. Most of these screams all make sense in the context of the film, yet there€™s one that just stands out as stupid. Having bumped into Old Man Marley outside, young Kevin runs screaming back into his house. That€™s all well and good, but then there€™s one moment where he randomly runs towards the camera and screams into it before running off into the sanctuary of one of the house€™s many bedrooms. Yes, this might be a little harsh on a fluffy Christmas movie, but it totally breaks the fourth wall, and unnecessarily so. What, was Kevin Deadpool before Deadpool was Deadpool (Marvel€™s fourth-wall-breaking Merc with a Mouth wasn€™t created until 1991)?
