Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer - 1986 - 6/10
Kinda sorta based on Henry Lee Lucas, murderer who falsely admitted killing 600.
Here, Henry is a drifter and opportunist.
Egged on by companion Otis, they proceed on a deadly spree.
There are a series of brutal killings, yet splatter hounds may be disappointed.
The tone is deadbeat and grim throughout, as if killing is a boring habit, a job that pays poorly.
Michael Rooker is fine as the emotionally numb Henry, while Otis and his sister are more complicated.
I appreciated the acting and the bleak tone.
This is one ugly film, though.
