Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

USA 1987, 79 minutes
Dir. John McNaughton
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Horror, Cult / Independent, Controversy

Aroview: Theatrically banned, this uncut version ranks as one of the more unsettling works ever committed to film. In short, a low-budget masterpiece that deals frankly with, yet never relishes, its grisly subject.

5 stars (Exceptional) Moody and still pretty shocking. The cast is wonderful, especially Rooker. The videotape scene is the most notorious, but the conversation Rooker and the sister have at the kitchen table is just as creepy. Not for everyone, but perfect at what it is. ~Pop&Coffee

4 stars (Very Good) I'm a 40 year veteran of horror films, but even I found the videotape scene hard to watch. Great performances by the cast though. ~trauma_hound412
