One thing I didn't understand (I was 7 when I last watched this movie, I need to rewatch it) however I didn't understand why he did what he did...
can someone explain? and please don't write something like "he's just evil' XD there had to be SOMETHING else...right?

Part of the reason for that is that it is a horror movie, and as such it plays on our fears that a child could just be evil for no reason. We like to be able to explain antisocial behavior, either as a neurological condition or as a result of trauma or abuse. The horror of the movie is that there is no explanation for his behavior, indicating that he would be beyond help.
shareThere had to be something else, right?That very something is thus far beyond humans' ability to ascertain. It is definitely possible for some people to become comfortable with harming or destroying other people, after they have done it for the first time, whether the first time was on purpose or by accident. Many factors could exist, whether hereditary, congenital, epigenetic or environmental, in essence, or combination thereof.
I feel like people are missing the obvious here...Henry was a blatant psychopath and budding serial killer. He was born a psychopath, but what triggered his violence was the murder of his little brother. Once a psychopath gets a taste for death, they never forget it and there's no going back. This is what turns a psychopath into a serial killer. Not all psychopaths become serial killers, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the environment a person grows up in.
Psychopaths usually start to exhibit their psychopathic tendencies around puberty, but some have exhibited these behaviors at early ages. Henry felt absolutely no remorse for his brother's death and seemed to get some sort of thrill or fascination out of the experience.
And it's a common misconception that psychopaths are created by their environment. In many cases, psychopaths are born in spite of their environment.
I also believe many of these people lie or exaggerate about their childhood in order to rationalize and validate their behavior as well as gain sympathy.
It's important to differentiate between a sociopath and a psychopath. A sociopath can be created by their environment, a psychopath is born.
i think it was explained by his upbringing, scientific non religious, so he followed scientific steps to magnify his interests and enjoy experimenting, the stupid word psychopath doesn't explain any thing.

Henry was a sociopath most likely so it was just how he was born
shareWhat?
The word is used to explain a certain condition of mind, it explains everything actually.
People from loving homes have turned into serial killers, deal with it.
He was born a psychopath, but what triggered his violence was the murder of his little brother.Likely but not necessarily. He could've had a detectable and reparable brain defect. Either way, there's no guaranteed that the defect is a birth condition. The mechanism is thus far beyond human comprehension. share
He wasn't born evil. He tells Mark as they're hiding from the cops that he used to be scared too, and "That once you realize that you can do anything, you're free. You could fly. Nobody can touch you." Pretty much alluding to him constantly getting away with things. He was also intelligent, able to talk himself out of situations and manipulate people. He also showed an interest in death, talking about looking and touching dead bodies, deeming it scientific. Also showing spoiled tendencies and the unwillingness to share pretty much led to him being a little psycho killer.
shareEvil doesn't exist, you can be born with sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies, it has happened plenty of times in reality.
First off, I don't think he was evil, I think he did evil things because he just could not feel for others as a normal child should or he could barely feel for others and so he chose to feel/do evil things, even though he was taught to be good and to do good. I agree that a psychopath does not have a conscience and sociopaths may have a conscience, but it is weak, but just as someone who can not feel pain or only feel slight pain learns to not touch anything hot, a psychopath and a sociopath has the choice of doing the right thing even though he/she can't feel the effects of it/may only feel them a little.

I try doing this with my posts
This is interesting because our sense of right or wrong to an extent dictates what we do. I know it does with me. If there is something that makes.me feel guilty if I do it I consider it wrong and won't do it because of the way it would make me feel. Two example are stealing and of course killing. Now when it comes to swearing and using the f word I feel nothing when I do it so I continue the behavior. I had someone tell me that it's wrong to swear and I said I don't feel guilty about so I don't stop. Don't get me wrong I don't swear in social situations where it would be considered highly inappropriate.

The Elijah Wood character actually states flat-out that he's probably 'just evil', so... Don't know what to tell you. He's just evil.
In real life, serial killers exibit a lot of the same behaviors, and it's because they are just sociopathic. There isn't a 'why'.
Pretty simple I think
He was the first born, and he wanted it all.
He didn't want to share his parents love with his brother and sister
It happens
1st born is a favorite, last is always the baby, anything in between is in the way.
Some first born create a resentment towards others
