Burbank, CA (March 15, 2012) – ABC Family and Fox TV Studios announced that production has
begun on the latest installment in the popular “Home Alone” franchise, starring Malcolm McDowell,
Debi Mazar, Edward Asner, Eddie Steeples, and Christian Martyn. The movie is set to premiere as
part of the network’s annual “25 Days of Christmas” programming event.
In “Home Alone 5: Alone in the Dark” eight-year-old Finn (Martyn) is terrified to learn his family is
relocating from sunny California to Maine, and the scariest house he has ever seen! Convinced that
his new house is haunted, Finn sets up a series of elaborate traps to catch the “ghost” in action. Left
home alone with his sister (Jodelle Ferland) while their parents are stranded across town, Finn’s
traps catch a new target – a group of thieves (McDowell, Mazar, Eddie Steeples) who have targeted
Finn’s house. Produced by Fox Television Studios, the movie is directed by Peter Hewitt (“Garfield”),
and written by Aaron Ginsburg & Wade McIntyre (“The Finder”).

Malcom McDowell is a 60 year old man. Who cares if he gets left home alone?

That would be the greatest idea if they got Macauley to be the burglar. I mean he was neglected so much he had to have turned to crime/drugs. Maybe this time he is mentored by Joe Pesci and Marv

Watching a near-70 year old man and a 50 year old woman get clobbered with paint cans and doing pratfalls is more cringe worthy than funny. Expect Crabman to take the brunt of the violence. And it's a TV movie on ABC Family, so don't even expect much of that.
Malcolm McDowell? I thought his career was better than this.
Check out his IMDB filmography. For every decent movie he's made, he's been in a dozen shitty ones.

I would so watch that.
I would also watch an R-rated Home Alone 5, in which Macauley's wife and kid are killed, and he sets up booby traps ala Last House on the Left.

I would be so down for an R-rated (TV-MA) Home Alone, but not holding my breath since it's ABC Family. Sadly enough, if I don't have a lot going the night it airs, I might check this out. Never saw the fourth one.

Well, maybe he forgot his blood pressure pills or maybe the damn remote is on the fritz and the VCR didn't record his stories. Maybe he shit his britches. There's all sorts of trouble a 60 year old can get in to.

I would only watch this if McDowell was playing Alex from A Clockwork Orange, who somehow lived to an old age and ended up in this kid's town.

This franchise is just one entry away from an "in da hood" installment.
I remember seeing a review on Home Alone 3 and 4 and it looked horrible. I was thiinking what kind of hack writer was hired to write these pieces of shit? And then i found out who wrote them John Hughes :(

It really depends on whether I get hit by a speeding car and get brain damage on whether I'll see this or not. If a speeding car doesn't make me mentally crippled, I'm not watching!

Wish the whole series was on Blu-Ray :( I've been doing a marathon of the series to catch up on the backstory. There should be a few good twists in this one.

Didn't it come out last week already? I could've sworn Judy Dench and Daniel Craig starred in it.
