  Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

rating: (out of 4 stars)

United States; 1986
Directed by John McNaughton; produced by John McNaughton, Steven A. Jones, Lisa Dedmond; written by John McNaughton, Richard Fire
Starring Michael Rooker, Tom Towles, Tracy Arnold, Anne Bartoletti, David Katz, Kurt Naebig



'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' is the most accurate title this film could get. Losely based on the story of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, it shows the killer Henry, his interaction with those around him, and, of course, how he kills. There is no real why here, although stories from his youth might explain some things.
