About The Good Son

The Good Son (1993) is a chilling psychological thriller that explores the darkness hidden behind a facade of childhood innocence. Directed by Joseph Ruben and written by Ian McEwan, the film remains a cult classic for its unsettling atmosphere and the career-defining performance of its young lead, who stepped away from his usual comedic roles to portray a terrifyingly manipulative character.

The plot follows Mark Evans (Elijah Wood), a young boy grieving the recent death of his mother. Mark is sent to stay with his aunt and uncle in Maine, where he reconnects with his cousin, Henry (Macaulay Culkin). While Henry initially appears to be the perfect son and a fun companion, Mark soon discovers a lethal streak of sociopathy beneath Henry’s charming exterior. As Henry’s ‘games’ turn deadly, Mark find himself in a desperate race to convince the adults of the danger before it is too late.
