Synopsis:
"A Film of ferocious, haunting power"
*****
TIME OUT  

 Based on the harrowing true story of one of America's most notorious
mass-murderers, Henry Lee Lucas (portrayed with a dead-eye passivity by a
scarily resonant Michael Rooker), John McNaughton's Henry: Portrait of a Serial
Killer builds to a disquieting and horrific climax and provides a sobering,
nightmarish glimpse into a deranged and damaged mind. On its initial release,
America's MPAA gave the film the notorious X-rating, claiming that they
"wouldn't know where to begin cutting". While in Britain, Chief Censor James
Ferman took a whole year to give the film a certificate. "One of our
psychologists said the film was remarkably accurate," he argued, effectively
giving it its best review.
