Summary: Henry: The Man, the Myth, the Legend
Review: A friend recommended that I buy this movie because I am enthralled by serial killer movies like 8mm and Seven. As the story unfolded, I began to realize that this is a movie all in itself. Most other movies about serial killers involve the pursuit. This movie is essentially filmed inside the mind of a serial killer. It was very disturbing. The movie wasn't gory like Seven, Henry just matter-of-factly killed people. Seeing it in a stripped down version as compared to other movies, it garnered a greater sense of realism. I felt as if I was Henry! If you are a fan of horror, you don't know what horror is until you view this movie!

Summary: One of the most disturbing horror movies ever..
Review: I'm a big fan of good horror movies, like the Exorcist and a few others which really get under your skin and frighten you. Henry is a different kind of movie, it doesn't try to scare, but instead horrify the andience with it's plain and simple storytelling of a disturbed serial killer and his acquaintances. This movie wasn't anything like I expected, it's not gorry, nothing jumps out at you, you're never peeking from behind a pillow.. instead you stare at it in disgust as it unfolds before you and see how sick these people really are. The matter-of-fact way that the filming is done (some compare it to a documentary) forces you to realize that people like this exist, and that you won't be able to just walk away from it thinking it was 'just a movie'. The DVD version has a few notes about the making, including an interview with the producer. Unfortunatly it does not have a widescreen aspect ratio. I wouldn't recommend this movie to most people, especially women, as one scene in particular is more than most care to take in. (again, not gorry or disgusting, just plain disturbing) However, if you want to see a movie which earns it's title as a Horror movie, then give it a try.

Summary: Not slasher; Disturbingly Real
Review: Before I first saw Henry, I was at a time in my life when I was very dissappointed in the movie industry's habit of making bland movies easy for mass consumption; kind of like eating at McBurger-in-a-Box. This was the first indie film I remember seeing. It's hyper-realism is achieved by the indifferent and non-judgmental fly-on-the-wall perspective. I turned a friend of mine on to it; she was disturbed enough to decide to never see the film again, though it was one of the most chilling movies she had ever seen (she loves good, intellectual, chilling movies such as this). It was just a little too real. This movie was an influence to the creators of Blair Witch.

Summary: not as violent a movie as expected
Review: When I first rented this movie,I was expecting a rather disturbing,non-stop gore fest.What I got instead was a realistic and creepy movie.I ended up buying the thing and letting my friends borrow it.They even found it to be funny!It was almost serene in its aproach to violence.

Summary: Good for the time,but...
Review: Having just seen this movie(DVD)I must say it was not what I expected. I have seen almost every horror movie ever made and I particularly like anything about serial killers. This movie did not touch base at all in the mind of a serial killer. The serial killer is very deliperate in his picking of victims. There is nothing random about it. He is usually extreamily intelligent, has a method to his madness, and is quite deliberate in his execution. If you want a true picture of a serial killer read John Douglas' "Journey into Darkness" or "Mindhunter". Althought they are books, they will scare you, because they are real cases. John Douglas was a real FBI Profiler on murders and serial killing cases. Having read numerous books on the subject, my money for a true sence of a serial killer movie would be "Kiss the Girls". This(Henry) was not a bad movie for the time, but Henry Lee Lucas was no "Einstein" in the serial kiling field. He was frightening because he was sick, but not the intellectual killing machine that most serial killers are."Copycat" was more realistic as well. Nice try, but missed the mark.

Summary: This movie finds a place in your mind and NEVER leaves
Review: Think about this: There is a distinct possibility that a man like Henry sat next to you at the ball game, stood in line behind you at the convenience store, or sat next to you in the subway. People like Henry exist and walk among us everyday. There is nothing we can do about it except be aware. "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" is the type of movie everyone should make an effort to watch...no matter how disturbing the scenes are. Henry is a masterpiece inspired by actual events and based on fact. No movie has ever made me feel so uneasy and afraid. It will open your eyes to the harsh realities that surround us every day. No plan is full proof, but there are things we can do to avoid being victims. After you watch Henry I'm sure you will understand.

Summary: Great psychological study: disturbing,though.
Review: I recently rented this movie, and thought it was awesome. While certainly not for all tastes, this manages to tear true screams from the base of your spine. All performances are believable, the murders are disturbingly realistic, and maintains a steady pace thruout. THIS IS NOT A SLASHER FLICK!!!!! So don't say it is. It is also non- exploitive, as some think it is. But this is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart, so BEWARE!

Summary: GAH!!
Review: This isn't a horror movie. I don't know what it would be categorized as. All I know is I was repulsed by the twisted people in this film and its inspiration, Henry Lee Lucas, the most prolific serial murdrerer of all time. If you can find a copy, get CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL KILLER with Rob Burns:it is just as terrifying.
