    One thing I wish the film world would get past is the idea that a genre can be defined by its quality. Nobody says "Home Sweet Home Alone isn't a comedy because not funny." Of course it's a comedy. It's just not an effective one. But horror movies? For some reason THAT's considered fair game.

    Home Sweet Home Alone: 10-year-old Max Mercer gets accidentally left behind when his family goes to Tokyo for Christmas, only for a down-on-their-luck couple to target his house for a valuable heirloom hidden inside, forcing Max to defend his home with hilarious traps as loneliness creeps in.

    Roleplay Retcon's 2025 holiday special is a remake of Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), which has a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes! A TTRPG that replicates the Home Alone vibe is surprisingly hard to find, so we used the game that works for any scenario: Husband Daddy Protector Hero by @superdillin.bsky.social!

    The first Home Alone was localized in Italy as (translated from Italian)"Mom, I missed the plane" The rest went: "Mom, I missed the plane again - I'm lost in New York" "Mom, I got the measles" "Mom, I flooded the house" "Mom, I saw a ghost" "Home Sweet Home Alone - Mom, I missed the plane"

    Let's set some standards for each with three different medias that are similar, but unique. "Home Alone" is Legit Good. A xmas classic. "Home Sweet Home Alone" is a soulless cash grab that feels bad to watch. "Bone Alone" is so low production and weird it avoids being Bad by sheer weirdness

    Yep. And HA4 is still infinitely better than Home Sweet Home Alone where the kid is the bad guy and the "thieves" are just trying to recover a doll they think he stole. It's like a MAGA HA movie. Whocould have thought this was a good idea?

    Of the multiple problems with Home Sweet Home Alone, I'm not sure why they misunderstood the appeal so bad they thought struggling parents being brutalised would be funny. The hook in earlier films was always that the antagonists were utter creeps, not seeing adults suffer.

    1: HOME SWEET HOME ALONe (2020) STARDUST is probably a worse movie, and I'unno what I was expecting from the sixth HOME ALONe movie, but this has to be the single most obnoxious film I've seen the whole decade so far. Actively pissed me off, and I'd watch any of the others again before this.
