The Good Son is a 1993 film directed by Joseph Ruben and written by Ian McEwan.
Mark Evans (Elijah Wood) suffers the loss of his mother. Not long afterward, his father has to go to Tokyo, Japan for a business trip, so Mark is left at his uncle's home in Maine. Mark soon discovers that his cousin, Henry (Macaulay Culkin) is a psychopath who is plotting to kill his family members. However, Henry is so adept at disguising his true nature from everyone but Mark, that no one is the least bit suspicious of him. Thus, Mark's attempts to warn others about Henry are disregarded as misguided cries for attention resulting from Mark's emotional trauma over the recent death of his mother.
