Henry Portrait Of A Serial Killer
 
I saw this a long time ago and am currently obtaining a copy to have a look again

What are your thoughts on this somewhat controversial film

Yeah I just rewatched this one myself not that long ago. It was still as disturbing as ever. The DVD transfer left a bit to be desired but is still worth picking up if you get a chance.

Not easy to pick up in Australia : )

I am a fan of both 1 and 2

The stuff going on between Tom Towles/Otis and his sister is very creepy. The girl playing his sister, can't think of her name offhand, gave a great naturalistic performance.

Yeah...I killed my momma.

Great movie. There were some very disturbing scenes, like when Henry & Otis are raping & killing a family. Michael Rooker really pulled off a great performance as Henry. A must-see!

The scene where Henry slams a tv on some guys head and then says 'Plug it in Otis' was pretty cool.

We only have a heavily edited version over here which runs for 72mins because it was initally banned because it "condoned violence" (?) I think the censors were shitty that Henry doesn't get busted or killed at the end for his actions. I was was wondering if anyone knew the running time of the UK edition as I am thinking of purchasing it if it is uncut (because i don't have a DVD player and can only veiw PAL) can anyone help?

Well, I have it on tape. It's the uncut version and the running time is 82 minutes. Although it is subtitled in Dutch (and spoken in English), I think the uncut UK edition will probably have the same running time.
