Evil resides in an unexpected place in this gripping, suspense-filled drama. Macaulay Culkin stars as Henry, an angelic-looking boy who seems loving and loyal to his parents, sister and friends. Only his cousin Mark (Elijah Wood) sees what lurks behind Henry's smile - secret thoughts and a love of deadly games. But when Mark tries to warn Henry's family, they won't believe him, leaving the terrified youngster alone to battle his jealous, menacing cousin.

The title's a contradiction in terms when evil-seed son Henry (Macaulay Culkin) tries to snuff his family members. It doesn't take visiting cousin Mark (Elijah Wood), whose own mother passed away just a few weeks earlier, to begin suspecting that Henry's innocent façade is just that -- a cover-up for his heinous true nature. But no one will believe Mark, and before long, a confrontation with Henry has him fighting for his own life. …

In THE GOOD SON, a twelve year-old boy learns that evil has many faces when he goes to live with relatives after his mother's death and comes under the influence of his malevolent cousin.
