Day 1 of Horror Movie Month: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)


This is likely the scariest horror film I’ve ever seen. This movie shook me up a lot because it’s shot and acted in such a cold and remote way, and was disturbing to me, it felt like a snuff film to me. I first saw it at a midnight movie screening when I was 23, and walked out feeling traumatized. I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t a documentary. I watched it again years later online, and still felt really uncomfortable with it. It’s a great film, and Michael Rooker was chilling as the serial killer, but this definitely left a lasting impression on me.
