*Title: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
*Director: John McNaughton
*Rated: R
*Language: English
*Contains: Rape, extreme, violence, murder, incest, boobs, and lots of blood!
*Synapse: Henry shares an apartment with his friend Otis...And like any good friend should, Henry teaches Otis the joys of killing. When Otis' sister Becky comes to live with the pair, Henry takes a liking to her and all hell brakes loose. This movie is loosely based on the life of the serial killer Henry Lee Lucas.
*Thoughts on this movie: Just, wow. It's been ages since I've seen a violent movie that's truly shaken me as much as this one. The violence is intense and pretty convincing despite the film being low-budget and all, and neither the violence nor the tits feel like they're there for shock value (which is something that I am very picky about). Forget Saw III or Hostel II, this movie completely blows them out of the water! Needless to say, I highly recommend everyone here watches it.
