Title: HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER tonight on IFC 12 midnight EST
Post by: Allhallowsday on February 01, 2008, 07:43:54 PM
HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER is on IFC tonight at Midnight (12am EST).  I also revived an old thread in the BAD MOVIES forum discussing this film in order to notify any interested parties.  If you don't know what this film is, it is not nice, be forewarned.  Very powerful but disturbing.

Fantastic film.  Very powerful and haunting.  I highly recommend it but man it's harsh.

One of the great movies of 1986, and Michael Rooker, as the title character, turns in one of the best performances I've ever seen in a film. It is hard to believe that this was his motion picture debut. But a hard film to watch. Actually, I've never been able to get farther than the trailer for it, before I stop watching it.

Very hard movie to watch, but at the same time hard not to watch ( as in you know it's going to be disturbing, but you can't turn away.   It is very disturbing when you think about the fact that such a subculture exists.

Menard advised he is not impressed (in another thread I informed about this latest broadcast on IFC.)  I'm mulling my response...  :smile:  I think this film works very well towards expressing a particularly horrific reality.  The fictionalization informs the film as a work of art (no one said every work of art is worthwhile.)  There.  That's my response.
