Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

About This Movie

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is this gritty, unsettling dive into the mind of a murderer. McNaughton captures a stark realism that’s rarely seen in horror. The atmosphere is thick with dread, yet it’s oddly mundane at times, almost like a documentary. Michael Rooker’s performance as Henry is chilling, really draws you in, and you can’t help but feel this odd sympathy for him, even though he's doing terrible things. The pacing, slow and deliberate, lets the tension build, making the brutally practical effects hit harder when they do arrive. It’s a disturbing exploration of violence and morality, and it really leaves you with a sense of unease long after it’s over. Not an easy watch, but there’s something deeply compelling about its raw honesty.
