Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1525 movies items)

" Based on the true life serial killer, Henry Lee Lucas, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, is a brutal, devastatingly horrifying tale of Henry Lee Lucas, and Otis Toole, who go on on a random killing streak sparing absolutely no one. The people they kill are strangers and in one particularly gruesome attack, kill all three members of a family during a home invasion. Henry lacks compassion in everything he does and isn't the kind to leave behind witnesses. Of any kind. Not even, poor Becky"

"Pros: Michael Rooker and Tom Towles It’s a decidedly very terrifying film Con: It’s not called Portrait of a Serial Killer foe nothing."

Fantastic Horror Films (29 movies items)

"Henry likes to kill people, in different ways each time. Henry shares an apartment with Otis. When Otis’ sister comes to stay, we see both sides of Henry: “the guy next door” and the serial killer. I usually require, for me to really love a film, for there to be a lot of care put into the visual aspect. This movie is ugly. It feels like they just pointed the camera at the subjects haphazardly. It totally works. Henry works based on the character itself, and of course Michael Rooker'"

"Brutally stone-cold depiction of a mad man, made all the more unnerving by its cinematic aptitude. "

"1.11. Elokuvaväkivallan pitää välillä kouraista vatsanpohjasta ilman älytöntä mässäilyäkin. Halloweenviikon jälkeen asiat oli hyvä laittaa taas perspektiiviin. Tyly, mutta tarpeellinen."

"3.10. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Ruma, likainen ja inhan väritön elokuva käsittelee aihettaan juurikin sellaisella tarkkuudella ilman tarpeetonta äimistelyä ja sensaation hakua, kuin ihmishirviön edesottamuksia olisi välillä syytäkin. Valmistumisajankohta slasher-kiiman keskellä korostaa sen häiritsevää ja inhottavaa lähestymistapaa. Nämä eivät ole mitään ylisanoja. Helppoa ei ole katsoa järjettömiä tappoja, välillä ilman kummempia leikkauksiakaan, eikä sen aina helppoa t"

In fact, at the time, I had never heard of this flick before and it is my brother-in-law who brought it to our attention saying that it had a very notorious reputation, that it was one of the scariest movies ever made.
