With this one, some more options for an ending should have been offered.
We have a pattern of police being called from earlier in the film, so it's likely the lawyer did call the police, the two murder suspects processed, the real Henry identified and the protagonist vindicated.
But, perhaps the lawyer got shot as she was peering through the window? Or did she trip, run for the street, then when she came back with the police the villains were gone? Or was Henry a Mollusk boy created by gene splicing for the purposes of satisfying a weird cult?
It would be good to know where the replacement kid came from. Likely a clone but who knows? Why did the villains bother with the whole affair? What were their desires and philosophy?
We have to create a complex multifaceted ending by ourselves. Being so, this film is ultimately unpleasant for its lack of resolution but this ping of unrest does forge a unique memory of the film.
