Envious Psychopath

**Henry Evans** is the main antagonist of the 1993 psychological horror thriller movie *The Good Son*. Despite being 13 years old, he is a manipulative, evil and monstrous killer. He is also the cousin and arch-nemesis of Mark Evans, the film's titular main protagonist.

He was portrayed by Macaulay Culkin.

## What Makes Him a Complete Nightmare?

* He is nihilistic, as he refuses to take care of his health for the sake of his family, more or less.
* He drowned his brother Richard over a rubber duck even though Richard was an innocent child.
* He built a philosophy that if people rid themselves of morals, then they are free to do any evil acts they wanted to without anything holding them back. As a matter of fact, he never stops to consider whether his actions will hurt people or not, unless he wants a specific person dead.
* He used a nail gun to kill a dog that tried to chase him and Mark and then Henry smiled when he lied about the fact that he was "just trying to scare him".
* He pushes a dummy named "Mr. Highway" off a bridge and over into a highway, which results in a massive car accident that could have killed or injured lots of innocent people and drivers, with him sadistically smiling at it with no remorse whatsoever.
* He tried to drown his little sister in a frozen lake when they were skating together.
* He tried to manipulate his family and even Mark's therapist into making Mark look like the crazy one instead of himself.
* He plotted to murder the rest of his family so he wouldn't get sent to a mental hospital or prison.
* He tried to kill his mother by throwing her off a cliff and finishing her off with a rock, and he would have gotten his way had Mark not interfered with his plans.
* He is so hypocritical that he hates his mother deeply, yet he was surprised to see her choosing Mark over him and letting him fall from the cliff to his defeat and demise, suggesting he took her love to him for granted.
	+ It's very clear that had his mother saved him and not Mark, Henry wouldn't have learned anything from the experience and would have continued to harm and kill innocent people for his own amusement.

## Trivia

* Although Henry is a very vile villain, Macaulay Culkin actually enjoyed portraying him.
