well, I use my school computers, and they have these dumb firewall thingys on them, and whenever i post a thread, poeple swear to much on it and then the firewall wont let me read what they said. i really wanted to know what poeple said in the Heanry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer thread. could someone fill me in minus the cursing on what poeple said on it? and can poeple stop swearing so much in my threads? I have nothing against it, its just that id like to see what poeple have to say.

For sure dude I totally agree with that. That fxxkin' film is just chilling and totally fxxking raw like movies should be.
Confessions of a Serial Killer is a good one to check out. It was made a little while before HENRY and based on the same serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. McNaughton's film borrowed heavily from it and IS better but theirs some great moments and is a more factual account of the real life killings and deviancy.
The 1974 film Deranged is fully worth you time aswell. Roberts Blossom gives a real fxxkin' quirkey, psychopathic and blackly funny preformance of the Necrophile Ezra Cobb (based upon Ed Gein). Great piece of 70s horror cinema in a similar vein to TCM, Eaten Alive and Motel Hell.
Probably more in the Slasher category of these type of films but Lustig's Maniac is a really down serial killer film. Really cool journey into a pyschopaths deluded perceptions of reality. A totally exploitative gory freak show but written and excuted amazingly, kinda think HENRY crossed with The Burning. I enjoy Lustig's film Relentless with Judd Nelson. Definatley the bxxt of a lot of peoples jokes upon release this film is worth rediscovering cause its definatley a underated gem. This film does have the "how to join the FBI/Police/become a laywer" aspect to it which ruins a lot of these stlye of films (particulary Friedkin's Rampage) but Lustig's sleaze cinema style delivers us a another tweaked out raw serial killer flick.
The 2001 film by Freeway director Matthew Bright Ted Bundy impressed me aswell. Unrelentingly pyschopathic this film is a great addition to the genre the will make you laugh (definatley a film for black humoured people) and shock and disgust you. The nihistic selfishness and brutality of the main protagonist ozzes off the screen resulting in a unsettling experience. Another example of how movies SHOULD be fxxkin' made.
These are some I dig anyways and if you're looking for raw cinema like HENRY check out (not horror films but whatever....) Bad Lieutenant, God's Lonely Man, Romper Stomper, Drugstore Cowboy, and the Driller Killer.

Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer was a great movie. The first time I watched it I was disappointed because I had been hearing for so long what a shocking, disturbing, gory movie it was... I guess I had hyped it up so much all I could really think was that's it? But then I got to seeing what an interesting movie it really was. Very gritty. The actor who played Henry... wow, really nailed it. He WAS the character. Just a great movie.
The only movie off the top of my head that I can really compare to Henry is Maniac. The tone is very similar --- same sort of gritty, nihilistic feeling, and following a likewise disturbed individual.

Henry is an excellent serial killer film, one of the best. I first saw it when I was a little younger and I failed to understand what all the hype was about. When I rewatched it not too long ago, however, I was blown away. I was expecting a slasher movie, rather than a character study of a mad and violent man. For something a little similar, Maniac (as has been suggested already) and Man Bites Dog fit the bill nicely.

yes...a new one to be released soon and i cant remember the name of it even though i was watching the trailer last night.
All i know is the guy they hired for the movie (once makeup was applied)
had that eerie sense of being the serial killers identical twin. (true story apparently)

She weren't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant very nice, thanks very much let's have coffee.

I just watched this again today, first time on DVD. My tape of it has worn its welcome.
IMO this is the Citizen Kane of serial killer films.
