I have read many reviews about this movie before buying this movie...They all pretty much stated that it was very realistic and violent and disturbing...It exited me very much because i don't find to get scared watching any movie that i do. My mother also happens to be a big fan of horror movies, and she mentioned that i wouldn't be able to handle it and that she would never be able to watch it again..."don't know what her prob is"... well her reasoning is one more reason to buy it...i watched this movie the second i bought it at home and i found that a majority of the kills that henry makes during his spree aren't shown in action..just as a glimpse after killed and raped...a little disappointing...could have been much better if shown...there is a popular scene in the movie where henry and Otis enter a home of a full family without permission and tie the husband up immobalized. During their encounter otis rapes the mother/wife of the family and kills her. Moments into the scene the son walks into the house to greet the family to find everyone dead, so henry jumps on him and breaks his neck without hesitation...Throughout the movie posts many shockingly cheezy effects, but i don't think that is rewins the movie one bit.. the movie Henry:Portrait of a serial killer, is a must buy...enjoy ;-)
