Review of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (20th Anniversary)

A staple in thriller, horror circles. This is a disturbing, cold, intimate, devastatingly nuetral depiction of a mad man. A very controversial film at its time of release it was denied an R rating, and thus crippled box-office-wise with the NC-17 rating. Was later re-released unrated to video. It's bleak, but relavent, and oddly refreshing in the fact that nothing is glamorized or burdended with artistic attitudes or value statements. Henry is not the most fun movie to watch, but if you're like me, if you dont watch it you may feel like you're missing something.
