henry portrait of a serial killer 1986 torrent download

In fact, a friend of mine who lives in Chicago told me that the first time he watched 'Henry,' he and a friend rented it and sat down in his friend's apartment to watch it. So what has he to fear?Īnd finally, the setting of Chicago makes the film more disturbing for me, as I'm somewhat familiar with that city and can spot some locales in the film that I recognize. He knows the police won't connect his crimes to one another.and they certainly won't connect them to him. And Henry isn't scared.nor is he even aware, apparently.

The only time you see a police car in this film, it's driving past in the background as Henry is cruising the streets. Secondly, the complete lack of police involvement is equally disturbing. The entire thing is so utterly plausible that it chills you to the bone. Nothing is slicked up.nothing seems counterfeit or contrived. Much like a homicidal version of 'The Catcher in the Rye,' this film seems much like a lot of things that happened, as opposed to a carefully constructed fictitious story.which make it seems all the more real.and all the more disturbing. 'Henry,' in its attempt to realistically portray the life of a serial killer, does not need a plot line.in fact, it benefits from having only a very loose plot line. Some seem important and/or entertaining.some don't. Life is an endless succession of things happening. How often do you spend 90 minutes with a real person and know that much about them.or feel that you can seriously identify with them? It's just a conceit of film-making. Character development means showing you enough of the characters in 90-120 minutes to make you feel as if you've known them forever. This is one movie that doesn't present events in a 'movie reality'.it shows us things as they are in the real world. It places those actions before us and says 'there it is.you deal with it.you sort it out.' People who don't like this film often say that there's 'no character development.no discernible plot line.etc., etc.' Those people should stop throwing around film school terms. 'Henry' doesn't bother with any type of neither glorifies nor denounces Henry's actions. And this is what the film's detractors obviously can't appreciate. But it's not the violence in this film that makes it so disturbing. And why? I've seen films with MORE violence in them.Romero's 'Day of the Dead' leaps to mind. And since he didn't want the X, and there was no NC-17 rating at the time, it was finally released, with no rating, in 1990.

McNaughton fought for 4 years to get an R rating, but no dice. The MPAA wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Most people still don't realize just HOW controversial this film was when it was made. I really wish that there were more movies like 'Henry' out there.
