‘Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer’ Returns to VHS With New Release from Dark Sky

One of the most disturbing horror movies ever made, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is the latest classic horror movie to get a retro-style VHS release here in the modern era.

From Dark Sky Selects, the 1986 horror movie is now available on VHS for $29.98!

Acclaimed by the critics as a masterpiece of modern horror, director John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is presented here totally uncut and uncensored.

The film is based on the horrific true-life crimes of Henry Lee Lucas.

“Widely heralded as one of the greatest serial killer movies of all time, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer presents a bleak and unflinching dive into the mind of a mass murderer.

“Recently released from prison, the nomadic Henry (Michael Rooker) finds temporary abode in the rundown Chicago lodgings of a former jail acquaintance and small-time drug dealer, Otis (Tom Towles). Hiding behind his unremarkable employment as a pest exterminator, Henry leads a double life, prowling the streets by night on a brutal and apparently motiveless killing spree. As the bodies mount up, Otis finds himself inducted into Henry’s dark secret world, but when Otis’ sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) moves in, herself fleeing from an uncomfortable domestic situation, it quickly becomes apparent that two’s company, but three’s a crowd.”
