Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer Reviews and Ratings

May 29, 2007Definitely on my 'Worst Movies Ever' list. I disliked every minute of this film and I understand it's a cult classic to most, but I found it incredibly boring.

-
May 27, 2007The special features say this was shot with a $100,000 budget. It is an intense movie with some scary thoughts running through it. Worth wathcing. And it shouldn't have an R rating- MA would have done it fine
-
May 27, 2007I like this movie; I think it's well-made, and sufficiently creepy, but it lacks something... I just can't put my finger on what. Watching it last night, I figure it has to do with so much fictionalising. I don't know. Still, it's effective.

May 11, 2007A day in the life of a serial killer. Disturbing because it was so matter-of-fact. No hockey masks or chain saws or deformed features. Just a guy who killed people. Based of the life of Henry Lee Lucas, who claimed to have killed hundreds, then recanted. A very well-done film.

April 24, 2007Ouch! This movie is f***ing TERRIBLE, AWFUL, I think I will never see it again. During the first 10 minutes you see at least 5 bodies cruelly murdered in every way possible. And you see the killings, struggles with much blood, and hear the necks cracking. That is too much for me.... read more

April 16, 2007If I remember correctly, having read quite a bit on Henry Lee Lucas, this movie really tamed him down. The acting was good but it was the script that really did lend much of the killer's actuality to you.
-
April 15, 2007This movie was not bad in fact it was pretty instering. I did think that it could have been better though. I really wished they would have actually showed him killion some of the victims insted of just showing the aftermath with a voiceover.

April 10, 2007Based on the real life exploits of Henry Lee Lucas & his recorded "confessions". A truly disturbing movie.
-
April 10, 2007disturbing beyond disturbing. they don't make movies like this anymore
-
March 21, 2007Michael Rooker is one of the creepiest looking guys in the world, and this movie doesn't help...unsettling film that really hits hard. Rookers performance is truly unflinching as he portrays this emotionless, unsympathetic man with a desire to kill. Something intriguing though is... read more

February 28, 2007It doesn't do a whole lot for accuracy, but if you enjoy horror that's real this film will give you a "run" for your money. . . litterally.
-
February 27, 2007A seedy and disturbing film that does exactly what is says on the tin. Nowhere near as sensationalist as you might expect, Rooker's character is a study of a man with no moral concept of what he does because of his total inability to deal with intimacy and the emotions it provoke... read more

February 18, 2007A stark film, that takes a bleak look at the life of a serial killer in a not so in your face kinda way, and yet it's still very disturbing to witness.
-
January 31, 2007the ultimate serialkillerflick. No gloss, no filler, no escape.Michael Rooker is excellent. Stays with you for years after.

January 25, 2007Raw, powerful, disturbing! Michael Rooker's performance is startling, he becomes Henry! He is brilliant in this!
-
January 25, 2007Rooker offers a convincing portrayal of real life serial-killer, Henry. It appeared to present a very authentic journey into the mind of sombody who lives to kill.
-
January 18, 2007A totally emotionless portrayal of Henry Lee Lucas, thata doesn't attempt to moralise, justify or condemn the subject matter in any way. Brilliantly acted, you end up feeling numb as Henry just goes about his way, doing what he does. Also faintly amusing in parts. But maybe th... read more

January 14, 2007Michael Rooker is defenitly a creepy guy in the movie but so is otis with his camcorder. The movie is indeed a bit brutally but not very scary. its a good movie for when you are bored or something but i wouldn't watch it for the second time..

December 24, 2006Probably the only serial killer movie I will give 5 stars too. I love horror movies, just not to much reality. It really sucks when it really happened.

November 20, 2006Was a lot better when I originally saw in college, and originally carried an X rating for brutality. With movies like Saw out now, it seems a little tame now...

November 7, 2006I heard nothing but good things about this movie, and wow was it overrated. It has some interesting moments, but for the most part, it's just bad. The movie feels like huge chunks are just missing. Worst of all is the way the story just dead ends. I didn't find the main chara... read more
