Home Alone: The First Game
Title: Home Alone: The First Game
Opening Scene:
The movie begins with the familiar setup: Kevin McCallister is left behind as his family frantically departs for their Christmas vacation. But this time, there’s an unsettling undercurrent. The house is darker, eerier, and Kevin’s reactions to being left alone seem… calculated. He smirks at the realization that he has the entire house to himself.
Kevin (to himself): “They think I’m just a kid. They don’t know what I’ve been planning.”
*Kevin heads to the basement, where a hidden workshop reveals tools, blueprints, and a variety of homemade traps with disturbing levels of detail. The camera pans over notes scrawled with phrases like “They must learn,” and “Pain reveals truth.” He places a tape recorder on a shelf, labeled "For Later."
Scene 1: The Wet Bandits Arrive
Harry and Marv, the bumbling burglars, arrive on the snowy street outside the McCallister house. Marv, as always, is the more impulsive of the two.
Marv: “This place is loaded, Harry! We hit this house, and we’re set for life.”
Harry: “Relax. We take our time. No alarms, no neighbors, and no kid to stop us.”
They break in through the side door. The moment they step inside, a faint, pre-recorded voice echoes through the house.
Tape (Kevin’s voice): “Hello, Harry. Hello, Marv. I want to play a game.”
Marv: (confused) “What? A kid’s game?”
The door behind them slams shut, locking with a metallic click. Harry and Marv exchange nervous glances.
Kevin (via intercom): “You’ve spent your lives taking from others. Stealing. Lying. Laughing as you leave destruction in your wake. Tonight, you’ll experience what it’s like to lose everything… and maybe, just maybe, you’ll appreciate what you still have.”
Scene 2: The First Trap
Harry steps forward and triggers a tripwire. A panel in the ceiling opens, and a deluge of tar and broken glass rains down, coating him and leaving shards embedded in his skin.
Harry: “What the—this kid’s nuts!”
Kevin (intercom): “Every choice you’ve made has led you here. You’ll have to make better ones if you want to survive.”
Marv tries to run but steps onto a pressure plate. A spring-loaded spike shoots up from the floor, narrowly missing his leg. He screams and scrambles backward, only to fall into a pit filled with glue and nails.
Marv: “This is not worth it, Harry!”
Kevin (intercom): “Are you sure? The key to the front door is inside the box in the basement. But beware… not all doors lead to salvation.”
Scene 3: The Basement Maze
Marv and Harry limp down to the basement, where Kevin has transformed the space into a nightmarish labyrinth. Flickering lights reveal walls covered in sharp tools, rusty saws, and a faint smell of gasoline.
The centerpiece of the room is a small box sitting on a pedestal. Harry reaches for it, but a wire attached to the box pulls a lever, releasing a swarm of rats into the room.
Marv: (screaming) “RATS?! This kid is psycho!”
Kevin watches from a hidden camera feed, his face illuminated by the glow of the monitors. He smiles coldly.
Scene 4: The Final Game
Harry and Marv finally make it to the living room, battered and bleeding. There, Kevin sits in his armchair, holding a tape recorder and wearing a sinister expression.
Harry: “Kid… you’re insane! What do you want from us?”
Kevin: “I want you to understand the value of consequences.”
He presses play on the recorder. It reveals the Wet Bandits’ own voices, recorded from their previous burglaries, bragging about their crimes.
Kevin: “You’ve hurt so many people. Tonight, you pay the price.”
A countdown clock begins, and Kevin gestures to two saws on the floor.
Kevin: “The door behind you is locked. The only way to escape is to cut through the chains binding your legs. Choose… or die here.”
Marv: (panicking) “We’re not doing this!”
Harry grabs a saw, glaring at Kevin.
Harry: “I’ll cut through you first!”
As Harry lunges, Kevin triggers a trap. A spiked bowling ball swings down, slamming into Harry and killing him instantly. Marv collapses, sobbing.
Kevin: “Game over.”
Scene 5: The Aftermath
Police lights flash outside the McCallister house. Officers survey the scene: Harry’s body lies crumpled, Marv is cuffed and screaming about “a kid with a death wish,” and Kevin sits calmly in a chair, feigning innocence.
Officer: “What happened here, son?”
Kevin: (wide-eyed) “They broke in. I just defended myself.”
The camera pans out as Kevin watches the police remove the evidence. His smirk returns as the iconic Jigsaw theme begins to play.
Kevin (to himself): “They’ll learn. They’ll all learn.”
Fade to black.
Text on screen:
"Kevin McCallister was never convicted. Years later, he would become known as the infamous Jigsaw Killer. This was his first game."
Cue eerie laughter and credits.
