Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer
Directed by John McNaughton
This controversial horror classic follows a serial killer and his partner-in-crime as they slowly begin to kill for fun. Michael Rooker is unforgettable as Henry, a soft-spoken loner masking an inner rage. When fellow ex-con Otis invites Henry to move into his apartment, he becomes Henry's wicked wing man. Meanwhile, Otis' unsuspecting sister Becky develops a childish crush on Henry. It took years - and the championing of Roger Ebert - who thought the film was powerful and brilliant - to turn HENRY into one of the most well-regarded horror films of all time.

This Psycho killer movie has everything but the gore, i liked it fairly well.. Not a waste of time.
I've read a few reviews below that said they downvoted the film because of how disturbing it was. I think that should elevate it. For a film that was made over 30 years ago, it is still extremely disturbing and haunting. Michael Rooker gives a subtle but mesmerizing performance as Henry.
Kind of hard to watch very gritty. A little too close to reality
Watch Angst (1983) instead if you have the option, for this was dull and cheesy.
this film is so inaccurate. In reality he was so much worse.
