Movie Review: The Book of Henry

[@sirjedisentinel]

A "touching" family drama about how a dead kid leaves behind a magic book on how to kill a man who's abusing his stepdaughter. ... Does anyone else think this should have been a horror movie or a suspense or a thriller or something?

[@dunes8817]

I was getting Omen-like vibes from the descriptions.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

SirJedi Sentinel honestly, I kinda like the idea of the archetypal angelic smart 12 year old with a precociousness level of over 9000 plotting a murder. That should be an interesting movie in itself.

[@Tuckerscreator]

"The moral of the story is: Never follow a child's murder plan, except this child is functionally telepathic even after death and made hundreds of thousands of dollars on the stock market."

[@jakmanxyom]

@@KeybladeMasterAndy Yeah, throw away the cancer subplot and Henry's arsehole behaviour (plus most of the adults' sad dumb characters) and there could be an interesting edgy dark Home Alone-style comedy borne out of it...

[@fightingmedialounge519]

If the adults weren't dumb, there wouldn't be a plot.

[@bplusstudios9031]

The Book of Hardcore Henry

[@DarthAzabrush]

32:00 I have a funny story about that. I had a friend at school who was probably the biggest clumsy ditz I've ever met. One day she came in with a black eye and everyone who knew her just accepted that she did walk directly into a lampost... except the child protection officer who (not knowing her) dragged her into her office for a 2 hour interrogation that she described as "somewhere between 'show me on the doll where the bad man touched you' and 've have vays of making you talk" only for it to be brought to an abrupt end when her form tutor testified that yes she is that clumsy.

[@magnuspendragon636]

When I heard that Henry had a brain tumor, I actually wondered if the tumor was messing with his mind, making him only think that Maddie's character was being abused. I've seen that type of thing in soaps before. But nah. This movie is more dramatic than even soap operas

[@elijahchoplin8925]

Sounds like someone tried to fuse "Matilda" with "Death Wish" and ended up making this. Can't say that about a lot of movies.

[@matheusarruda6462]

Never clicked on a video so fast. Ever since Folding Idea's summation of the unraveling insanity of this movie, I've been wanting to see Midnight Screening's take on it.

[@segasonic015]

HE SCATTERS HENRY'S ASHES ON THE CROWD. I swear that line caught me off guard 😲

[@BobbyDrake2000]

With the direction this movie took, that honestly wouldn't have surprised me. "Is that a woodchipper in that magic trunk?"

[@abbaddabba6100]

YESSS! HE SCATTERS HENRY'S ASHES ON THE CROWD was all I could think of when I saw this pop up!

[@matheusarruda6462]

They should make a sequel called "The Ashes of Henry"

[@flippyhairproduction]

I feel like Haley Joel osment would've been the lead if this film was made 20 years ago

[@agentkruger797]

True.

[@agentkruger797]

The girl would have been Dakota Fanning

[@flippyhairproduction]

Son of Satan or young mara wilson

[@agentkruger797]

That's an even better idea 💡

[@agentkruger797]

Had no idea this movie would turn into a murder plot made by a child. Like Henry is a Jigsaw waiting to happen he even inspired his mother to continue his work, just like jigsaw did when he died. Creepy little shit.

[@LaydiNite]

No one is naked in the Sia music video. They are both wearing nude-tone dance clothing.

[@StarSnowGhost]

This movie is already making me mad. High-functioning autistic kids can apparently do your taxes for you. If my mom finds that out, she'll ask me why I never helped out around the house when I was eight. I must be a bad autistic robot.

[@Tuckerscreator]

I remember when my autism turned me into a telepathic posthumous assassin and genius stockbroker. Oh wait, nah it just gave me a very low attention span.

[@sholem_bond]

Movie autism: life is numbers My autism irl: how do I read analog clocks and maps and not freak out about loud alarms (technically some of that is dyscalculia, but I'm pretty sure they're connected)

[@statykelektricity9591]

im sorry normal human i am autistic, as such i do not understand the concept of a joke beep boop beep

[@scitechian]

Mine gave me social anxiety so bad that I would recite lists of random things as a coping mechanism in my head - the world is so illogical and human behavior in particular, so patterns and unchanging sequences were comforting to my weirdly wired brain.

[@sagecolvard9644]

My understanding is that this movie was originally written as satire, then went through SEVENTEEN YEARS of rewrites. It was originally written in 1998, and was continually revised until the movie started production in 2015. Presumably somewhere in those 17 years, the writer forgot he was writing satire.

[@rouka120]

Why does the poster make it look like a happy go lucky fantasy adventure set in the Victorian era?

[@magnuspendragon636]

It literally looks like the poster for Bridge to Terabithia.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

magnus pendragon I don't think that poster was drawn. But the only poster for that movie I remember is the one of the kids by the creek.

[@magnuspendragon636]

Yeah, but I mean with how colorful it is and such. It honestly looks more like the trailer for a family film than it does a movie that deals with subjects like murder and sexual abuse.

[@Tuckerscreator]

It's weird how the advertising for this film is super happy and steampunk-like, but the trailers played along with it are really dark and grim toned.

[@LostInConfusion1]

Because studio executives are retarded.

[@ToruKun1]

HOLY SHIT, this movie sounds like one of those precocious early '90s kids films Nostalgia Critic would take the piss out of

[@dawsonbrannan9977]

Fun fact: the script has been floating around for 20 years.

[@Wawagirl17]

I WISH this movie was old enough to qualify for a Nostalgia Critic review. It would be so entertaining!

When batboy becomes a batman, will he get a bat mitzvah?

An almost hour long midnight screening? This is gonna be good. I've been waiting for this one

[@evilesque7073]

[@rcavallaro13]

Love your profile pic!

[@aydinfjeldsted9716]

Holy fuck I wanna watch this movie now just to witness the insanity of it

[@moonraven6145]

I fell asleep at the start of this (I watch these late) to.. what I thought was a quirky drama about a "genius" 12 year old doing taxes, and then woke up to them talking about him wanting someone dead and writing the titular book on how to kill him.. and he also had a Brain tumour, and then died halfway through the movie AND is also a ghost now apparently?, well that was a tonal shift lol

[@ToastyMozart]

Speaking as someone who's seen a weirdly large number of high school solo interpretive ballet performances (long story), they're almost *always* miserable-looking. To the point where throwing a bottle of prozac onto the stage in lieu of a bouquet would almost seem acceptable, and as far as I can tell they're perfectly happy kids otherwise. So it *is* pretty ridiculous that the audience is meant to take it as proof she's being abused.

[@lillianward2810]

The thing with the multiple ATMs is particularly stupid because making multiple withdrawals in a short time from a bunch of different machines would be more of a red flag than just taking out one big lump sum.

[@hothotheat3000]

Considering the amount of money she’s got in her account, taking out a couple thousand in cash wouldn’t raise any suspicion if she walked into a bank.

[@koroconnell]

This would make a great triple feature with Jupiter Ascending and Winter's Tale

[@nickmattio3397]

A 56 min review that started with "Ahhughh!!!" ...this is one for the small batch Reserve List lol

[@BluRayMan12]

I just saw the movie in a theatre with three other people. I was honestly totally baffled by what I was watching. I'm fairly convinced the script was put together by a madman connecting a bunch of disparate plot elements that should never be connected. As atrociously misjudged as the film is on pretty much every level I kind of admire it for its sheer level of insanity. As atrocious as it is if you are unlucky enough to see it is not going to be a film you forget any time soon.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe throughout the entire Jacob Tremblay talent show rant.

[@landonwilson1837]

The moment that a 40-something year old woman kissed an 11 year old boy was the moment I was sold: This movie is *BAD.*

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Landon Wilson Even weird/creepy stuff like that can be done well. In "Tomorrowland", George Clooneys character, Frank has a romantic history with a robot that looks like a 13yo, and they somehow sell the hell out of that shit. But of course, THIS movie is too bad.

[@KevinHealey95]

Blank Check?

[@TheRealNormanBates]

"George Clooneys character, Frank has a romantic history with a robot that looks like a 13yo" Goddammit Hollywood!

[@Tuckerscreator]

Nah, nah, I don't think they sold it in Tomorrowland either. He spends 50 years in a funk because he had a kid crush on a girl and she turned him down because she's a robot. I recall Black Nerd saying that's like the easiest reason to go "oh well, it never would've worked out".

[@mrfrankly3404]

Naomi Watts adopts a baby at the end of Eastern Promises. I bet that was Henry.

[@MidnightVoyager]

Wait, I know we're getting bogged down in the logistics here, but WHY does the Rube Goldberg machine show her pictures of her children while she was about to snipe him??? Did the kid set her up to fail for some reason??

[@Kari166]

I keep getting Higurashi flashbacks during the arc where Satoko is (sort of but then not really) being abused by her Uncle and Keiichi opts to straight-up murder him because CPS in Japan is shit, especially during the 80's.

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

And apparently there's a single schoolroom... Coincidence?

[@danethanor]

Maybe the tumor made Henry smart like John Travolta in Phenomenon.

[@SavagePassion666]

But then he could of used his telekinesis to pull the trigger instead of relying on his womanchild mother. Which admittedly would have been much better movie.

[@dunes8817]

So will this be on the table for a Snob review?

[@argoth231]

[@horaciosi]

The whole thing about the book and the recording that can magically guess what the person reading it or listening to it is doing could work *IN A COMEDY*

These are my favorite kind of Midnight Screenings - where the content is so weird and disjointed that Brad and Co. have to hold our hands through the plot and brace us for brain-melting plot twists. ^-^ Hope to see the Snob pick it apart someday - after all, if it's Oscar-baity, he might predisposed to defend it. ~.^

I'd say this has the makings of a classic one, mostly for WTF than like an anger one

[@goonhaveanotherbikky]

At the time I am posting this, the Wikipedia article for this movie has ‘Child Abuse’ and ‘Brain Cancer’ in the Also See section. Their not names of other movie they actually send you to the articles about those subjects. Just FWI and al that.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Brian is her human guinea pig at her beauty school, which is the most convenient for her. When we go to the movies, Brian typically has to be dropped off or picked up from her class because it ends right before the movies typically begin.

[@djwarrior5150]

That's a bold claim to say it's a triple feature with the room and birddemic. somebody just found out about those two and just wanted to show he could reference them

[@blaisetelfer8499]

I know. It's bad, but nowhere near the level of the movie made on a camcorder. It belongs in the same category as, like Brad said, Winters Tale and Collateral Beauty; movies where you have good actors and competent professionals handling the technical aspects, but the story itself is a two-hour WTF moment.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

Honestly, The Room doesn't belong with Birdemic. Birdemic belongs with a Len Kabasinski movie and Bimbos in Time. The Room belongs with other shitty microbudget melodramas. This belongs with the movies Brad referenced in the review.

[@BobbyDrake2000]

I LOVED this movie just because of how batshit insane it was.

[@blaisetelfer8499]

Same here. I watched it while stoned and loved every minute.

[@flmbyz]

Brad, funny you should mention Inconceivable at the end, apparently I'm living in a bizarre world of six degrees of separation where I'm working on The Strangers 2, it's directed by the guy that did 47 Meters Down, the production company is the same people that did Inconceivable and the gaffer did It Comes at Night. So every Midnight Screenings you guys have done has reminded me of who I am currently working with right now.

[@burningexeter4365]

DontMindMeNow I don't understand how the guy who brought us the underrated Safety Not Guaranteed went on to bring us Jurassic World and The Book of Henry. I hate to say it but I think Disney should pull a Neill Blomkamp Alien 5 on him.

The brain tumor came out of nowhere, this could have used the tumor to their advantage, maybe it was causing Henry to THINK the girl was being abused, when she actually wasn't, it could have a touching moment in the end where Henry apologizes to the step-dad for accusing him without proof.

[@Tuckerscreator]

It seems to be fake snow, since they show Henry owns a snow machine earlier in the film. I mean, it looked like A LOT more than the ashes that one child's body would make... Of course, this begs the question of why the audience gives it a standing ovation when they had no idea what the snow machine had to do with Henry.

[@nvfury13]

N. Esther Morgenthau Given it is about a Henry who meticulously plans the perfect murder.....

[@n.esthermorgenthau3497]

Oy vey true. Thanks, now I feel better about my weirdo brain. ;) Though neither Henry Lee Lucas nor Ottis Toole were ever 'meticulous' in any of their murders, sure they got lucky enough and were resonably adept if they did in fact commit even half of the murders they were considered legitimately good for (not to speak about the ones they falsely confessed to without any evidence correlation) but nevertheless they were sloppy and both had below average IQs. No idea whether or not the kid in the movie is smarter than either considering I haven't seen it but he probably is ^^ Also 'perfect murder' is letting your mother shoot someone and adopt their stepkid? (Was that how it went? I didn't listen well enough) That's a veritable Moriarty move defying mere mortal logic! No one shall suspect a thing! :D Well, probably because it's one of those movie universes in which cops are utterly Chief Wiggum-esque useless. Than again the cops in the Lucas and Toole case literally lost a freaking car from evidence so not that unrealistic.

[@nvfury13]

N. Esther Morgenthau As much as people complain about the "dumb cop" cliche in movies, anyone that pays close attention knows that often Police Academy might as well be a series of pro-cop documentaries designed to make them seem as much smarter than they really are as Batman compared to Forrest Gump.

[@flippyhairproduction]

N. Esther Morgenthau I forgot that movie existed! Now I need to go watch it again

[@n.esthermorgenthau3497]

@Nick V - Fair enough, good sir. Well, I am not disputing this, seeing as I started out as a true crime writer I am quite well aware of this and find it beyond infuriating. Heck, like I mentioned above as an example, the cops in the Lucas and Toole case literally lost a car (I don't even know how you manage that...Except maybe inflicting severe head trauma upon yourself after leaving it in an IKEA parking lot or something akin) and tried purging their books off cases by getting false confessions from them. Still having law enforcement in my extended family, I feel obligated to state that there are plenty of clever, dedicated cops out there doing their best every day to protect, serve and bring justice and answers to people, especially those working cold cases for whom I have an intense degree of respect. My pet peeve is that it's either 'obsessed self destructive cop going rouge', 'Chief Wiggum' or 'Power high, aggressive and trigger happy, sometimes biogted piece of shit' in most movies, not all but most. Not that there aren't cops like this out there and not that Dirty Harry isn't a blast but Hollywood isn't even bothering. Also now I want to watch the Police Academy movies again, thanks. ^^^

Something I just now thought of, why couldn't Henry kill the guy himself and leave a note explaining "This is why" ? Because he knew he was dying anyway? Why make his mom do it? Or not because I think it's implied that the Rube Goldberg device was set up specifically to stop her from killing the guy...Just BTW I never seen the movie.

[@red31sorceress86]

i think they should have where there is a smart kid to discover his neighbor a couple is up to something that involved and he trying to solve this mystery and while do so fallen in love with his neighbor daughter, but he conflict over is she involved, should go on trying to solve this case in risk of losing this girl and dealing with problem he has at home.

Nice video! Keep it up!

56 minutes well this is gonna be fun

This movie is crazy.

[@RollingStone501]

This movie sounds beautifully terrible, Sounds like a mix between something like a Beautiful Mind or something like that about a troubled genius and The Equalizer. Or something batshit crazy like that it sounds awful. Oh and Tom Hanks' classic romance story Big.

Lee Pace is 6'5. So pretty tall. Naomi Watts is 5'5. So he's a full foot taller. He's also a decade younger than her. Naomi is 48 and he is 38. A couple facts.

Also, you were right about Inconceivable. I recalled seeing that trailer a couple months back.

I saw the Folding Ideas review of "The Book of Henry" - THIS is the sleeper bomb of the Summer. See it to laugh your ass off, and do it NOW, because you know they will yank this out of multiplexes rather then let it be the joke film of 2017.

Would this make a good double feature with The Book of Eli?
