376. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

October 16, 2014

This was the second time I watched John McNaughton's 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' this year. It was one of those movies my wife hadn't seen yet that she says I always talk about, so she decided to give it a watch. I think she enjoyed it, but it was a little hard to tell. This movie is so artistically crafted and brutally realistic and I love every minute of it. Michael Rooker and Tom Towles give amazing performances as Henry and Otis, respectfully, and their depravity knows no bounds. Rooker's unflinching portrayal of one of the most merciless serial killers ever put on film is a true testament to how great an actor he really is. Since I went over the plot a bit more back in February, I'll skip that part here, but I do seriously recommend it. Of course, if you're the kind of person who would enjoy a movie like this, you've probably already seen it a million times.
