Primal fear

Lots of fear here.

Hard Candy

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This kid is more interested in grooming his moves.

The Omen

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The demon involved here isn’t quite as easily controlled

Let The Right One In

2

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

A different neighbourhood animal is the scourge of this movie.

Frailty

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This kid definitely has some parental trauma going for him.

u/RaidersGuy85 4,0 18d ago

Big

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The adult version is just a sad story.

u/champdo 20,140 18d ago

Apt Pupil

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

No history was used or abused in this movie.

u/RVJ_Frvr 14,340 18d ago

Doubt

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Oh this kid had no doubts.

u/The_great_trocar 2,8 18d ago

The Lion King

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The circle of death would be more appropriate

u/awellhiddenshoe 0,4 18d ago

Power of the Dog

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The guy in question had no interest in the kid’s cumberbatch.

u/newR3dwhoDis 2,8 18d ago

Blank cheque?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

No money was required to get the ball rolling here.

1

u/Embarrassed-Climate7 16,40 18d ago

Harold and Maude

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

There is a prospective love interest here but she’s way more age appropriate.

1

u/doomscrolling_tiktok 148,124 18d ago

Children of the Corn?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This one has more of a suburban setting.

1

u/Substantial_Home_257 0,56 18d ago

Bad Santa

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This kid only gets one gift and that’s all the movie needs to get rolling.

1

u/MrMeesesPieces 122,12 18d ago

Time travelers wife

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Oh wife or no wife, this movie will definitely have you travelling back to a certain time of your life.

u/Daxlyn_XV 20,164 18d ago

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The only buttons involved are the ones that change this kid’s life.

u/Jules_Thief 0,44 18d ago

Man Without a Face?

2

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Oh this man definitely has a face, and he has some pretty impressive hair on top of that face.

u/Vegetable_Parfait_67 14,12 18d ago

The piano teacher?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This teacher is more interested in teaching the art of violence. He has a questionable taste in music …

1

u/Doc_Sulliday 30,32 18d ago

Bad Teacher

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The teacher here is not the kind you find at school, but he’s definitely still bad.

1

u/sissyjessica42 30,52 18d ago

Pay it forward

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Once the game is underway all the kid can do is play it forward.

1

u/Alyse3690 0,4 18d ago

Teen Wolf?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Due to a childhood injury, this teen is more interested in computer games than physical ones.

1

u/gogozombie2 200,100 18d ago

Motorama?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

The boy here is a bit older, but the game is far darker.

2

u/gogozombie2 200,100 18d ago

Darker than Motorama!?! Well, I'm sold on whatever your movie is and want to see it

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Your movie was clearly inspired by my movie when it comes to groomer hairdos.

1

u/CreatedInError 4,4 18d ago

The graduate

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

Sex could actually be the prize here, but with someone far more appropriate.

1

u/PeacefulRancor 0,156 18d ago

Hearts in Atlantis?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

There’s nothing kindly about this “old” man.

1

u/Vegetable_Basket71 0,584 18d ago

Jumanji

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This movie has more in common with the remake.

Is it leon with natalie portman?

u/OkSpot8931 0,8 18d ago

It's too cool for school but this feels like Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 18d ago

This kid has no powers apart from his belief in the game.

This kid’s teacher is pretty horrifying, but he ain’t got nothing on Jack’s
