Henry Evans is the main antagonist of The Good Son.

He was played by Macaulay Culkin.

Role in the movie
Henry is the cousin of the movie's 12-year-old protagonist, Mark Evans, who lost his mother to a fatal disease.

Since his father must go in a business trip to Tokyo, he leaves Mark with his uncle Wallace and aunt Susan. Soon, Mark meets his cousin, Henry, which at first seems like a good cousin and a nice friend. But his true nature starts to show up after some of his behavior is revealed, like shooting animals with a nail gun, causing massive pile-ups using a dummy named Mr. Highway, and actually smoking (the latter, which he pressures Mark into smoking, telling him he's "gonna die anyway").

He also points out that he probably killed his own brother before the movie's events. Mark tries many times to warn his uncle and aunt about Henry's behavior, but they won't listen to him.

After Henry tries to murder his own sister during a small trip to a frozen lake where everyone were skating on the unfragile side of the lake, Mark once again tries to warn his uncle and his aunt, but once again they refuse to listen.

Henry soon warns Mark he'll try to kill his own mother due to her loving Mark more than him. He tricks her into taking a walk on the woods, where she finally asks if he killed his brother, to which he replies "What if I did?". He tricks her into following him to a cliff and pushes her off, but she hangs herself to a branch below. He tries to drop a rock on her to finish her off, but Mark comes to her rescue and fights Henry, and both almost fall down the cliff, but Susan (having just reached the top) hangs onto them both and must decide which one to save. She actually wanted to save them both, but knowing that each boy required both hands to save, and that Henry tried to kill her, and Mark was saving her, she immediately rescues Mark and releases Henry, leaving him to fall to his death below.
