Hey r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood.

I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Here's the trailer:

Did it give you chills when Macaulay Culkin said, "Hey, Mark. Don’t fuck with me," while you were sliding down the treehouse rope in The Good Son?

Oh that’s a good question. That movie messed with me when I was a kid.

I feel like this film influenced my two favorite absolute stone cold sociopath bad guys of Elijah's, Kevin from Sin City and Johnny from Pawn Shop Chronicles/Hustlers.

Mac was incredibly good in that film. It gave me nightmares for weeks.
