They won't know me. I'm invisible. I've always been invisible.
~ Henry to Rosie.

Henry Creedlow is the main anti-villainous protagonist of the 2000 horror film Bruiser. Originally an ordinary passive aggressive businessman, Henry's life was changed when he woke up one day with a white mask attached to his face. Now, with a loss of identity and his friends betraying him one by one, Henry plotted a bloody revenge for his so-called "friends".

He is portrayed by Jason Flemyng, who also portrayed John Wilkins in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.

Biography[]

Henry Creedlow was a passive aggressive business man working for a magazine called Bruiser. Believing that he needed to stay in line, in order to be successful, Henry rarely ever stood up for himself and would often be walked on by people around him. Including; his perverted and sociopathic boss Miles Styles, his greedy and thrill-seeking wife Janine, and his investment partner Jimmy Larson. Though, he never stood up for himself, Henry would often hallucinate violent fantasies involving people who piss him off.

After a day consisting of his wife cheating on him with his boss and a barbecue involving making masks for an upcoming party, Henry wakes up the next day with a white expressionless mask seemingly attached to his face. When he tries to remove it, he cuts himself and bleeds. Upon trying to hide from sight, Henry catches his maid stealing from him. He confronts her and smacks her with her own bag full of stolen alcohol. At first, Henry believes it to be a hallucination, but upon looking in the mirror, he realizes that it's not. With his wife entering the house, Henry hides the maid's body in a plastic sheet and hides from her.

He overhears her packing and talking to Miles about going on a vacation. As soon as she leaves, Henry follows her to Bruiser headquarters. Janine and Miles have sex on the conference table, but Miles's wife Rosemary catches them and snaps a picture. Miles follows her outside trying to explain himself, leaving Janine alone in the conference room. Henry enters into the room and scares Janine. She runs from him and tries to hide under the table, but Henry taunts her by making her believe that he's on the other side of the table. As soon as she crawls out the other side, Henry chokes her with his neck tie. He takes an extension cord, wraps it around her neck, and throws her out the window, hanging her.

As the police are responding to the scene, Henry follows a silhouette to the changing rooms where he finds one of his co-workers, Tom Bertram, who saw him kill Janine. Henry decides to spare Bertram as he views him as a friend, but warns him not to say anything about him being there, to which Bertram agrees. Henry goes back home to dispose of the maid's body as the police investigate the scene at Bruiser. He parks his car behind the house, but detectives show up at the front door wanting to ask him some questions. He doesn't respond and instead prepares to kill himself with his pistol. But, he overhears one of the detectives stating that he believes that Rosemary is the killer, and he puts the gun down.

After the cops leave, Henry searches for his finances, looking for if his business partner short-changed him. He finds the file and figures out that Jimmy did steal some of his money to buy a new car. Realizing that the detectives will come back with a warrant, Henry trashes his place and stages it to look like he was murdered or killed himself. He travels to Rosemary's house and tries to warn her about the cops thinking it was her and tries to admit that it was him, but she is interrupted by Miles and the cops.

Henry confronts Jimmy at the tennis court, where he messes with him a bit and chases him into a locker room. Jimmy trips on a stool and hurts his leg. With Jimmy wounded, Henry threatens him with the gun and demanded to know the truth. Jimmy reveals that he took $30,000 for the new car and Janine took more, claiming it was her idea. He claims that he can write Henry a check if he can have his briefcase. Henry gets it for him, but Jimmy pulls out a gun and shoots a couple rounds. Henry dodges the bullets by ducking behind the lockers and shoots Jimmy in the chest. Jimmy tries to fire once more, but dies from his wounds. Afterwards, Henry puts Jimmy's corpse in his car and pushes it into the same river he threw the maid's body in.

With the security camera footage leaking into the media, the news names him Faceless. Henry sees Bertram coming out of the police station, and assumes that he sold him out to the cops. So, he follows Bertram back to his house, where he's in the hot tub with the cover girl for Bruiser. Bertram talks with the cover girl about how he knows who Faceless is. Henry readies his gun, but Bertram tells the cover girl that he didn't sell him out, so Henry spares him again and leaves.

The next day, Henry confronts Rosemary and tells her how she should divorce Miles. Because she finds it hard, Henry decides to give her a little push by making plans to murder Miles. He also calls The Larry Case Show and admits that he is Faceless in order to keep the suspicion from going on Rosemary. The next night at the Bruiser masquerade party, Henry shows up disguised in a Zorro/Phantom of the Opera-esque outfit. Rosemary also shows, but the two detectives follow her. Henry manages to grab her without the detectives noticing and brings her to an elevator. The detectives follow, but are too late as the elevator goes up. On the elevator, Henry and Rosemary argue about the plan, but Henry shuts her down by getting off the elevator and closing the door.

Henry uses his influence to convince a couple guys to take Miles and hook him up to a ceiling harness. As Miles is in the harness, Henry knocks out the laser operator and uses the laser to destroy Miles's genitals, before killing him by blasting him in the forehead. After Miles dies, Henry's mask seems to disappear and people can see him again. He discards his mask and cape in a chair and proceeds to make his way out of the party. The cops block his path, so Rosemary dons the mask and shoots the gun, claiming that she's the killer. Henry shouts that he's the killer, but then the crowd, thinking it's a stunt, all start claiming that they're the killer. The cops get beaten up by rowdy party-goers, allowing Henry to escape. Rosemary walks out of the party wearing Henry's outfit and one of the cops asks her why she let Henry go. She doesn't give an answer and just gives him Henry's blank mask.

In the ending, Henry is now a office mail courier and has changed his name to Jack. As he passes by the conference room, a boss is berating various workers. After staring, the boss addresses him, but Henry just passes by. This annoys the boss and he tells Henry to come here, while also berating him. Henry pushes the cart, turns around and his white mask-face has returned.
