ReviewsEmpire Magazine - This is sicko territory with a vengeance but certainly has an impact., Time Out Magazine - McNaughton's compelling study of a blithe sociopath makes the flesh crawl and the mind reel., Rolling Stone Magazine - This film gives off a dark chill that follows you all the way home., Sight and Sound - ...Exceptionally well-acted....[A] challenging, uncomfortable and honourable approach to real-life horrors..., USA Today - "...A more explicit PSYCHO made with Hitchcock's integrity..." -- 4 out of 4 stars, New York Times - ...Profoundly disturbing....[McNaughton's] artistic control of the camera and narrative is evident from the start..., Film 4 - McNaughton, co-writer Richard Fire and Rooker have pulled off an amazing feat -- a portrait of a damaged mind that refuses to explain, judge or glamorize psychopathic violence., Rolling Stone - ...Spare, intelligent and thought provoking....This film gives off a dark chill that follows you all the way home..., Entertainment Weekly - "...Rooker captures a psychopath's charisma in a film as raw as a fresh blade wound." -- Rating: B+
Additional InformationHENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, loosely based on the case of Henry Lee Lucas, a confessed serial killer, is a terrifyingly intimate journey into the twisted life of a murderous psychotic. As the blank-eyed Henry (Michael Rooker) drifts from place to place, he selects victims at random, slaughters them, and captures the brutality on videotape. When he is joined by his deranged roommate, a loudmouthed ex-convict named Otis (Tom Towles), the almost unfathomably malevolent acts multiply.<BR>John McNaughton's film, in the tradition of such classic studies of homicidal personality as PEEPING TOM and TAXI DRIVER, goes further than both of these movies in its flat refusal to tell the killer's story on anything other than the killer's terms. McNaughton is able to present the world Henry aimlessly traverses as Henry sees it--almost unendurably bleak and meaningless--and in doing so he allows his film to go as deep into the nightmarish mind of a killer as anything ever committed to celluloid.
