Or does he? The first time I heard about this film was on a TV review show which had celebrities talking about new media. There is even a scene in which Henry passes down his wisdom regarding serial murder to Otis. Henry continues to kill but we start to see the involvement of Otis. Peppered throughout the film are random victims of Henry shown in differing locales and killed using differing methods. Otis' sister comes to stay with them and instantly falls for Henry. They both met in prison when Henry was serving a sentence for murdering his mother. The film is loosely based on the lives of real life serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole.

You haven't seen a really scary movie until you see this movie.This film was actually made in 1986 (although I've read it was actually shot in 1985) but not released until 1990 as there were censorship problems as to the graphic nature of the film's proceedings. See, it's just a movie, there's the actor right there, and ha-ha, he's actually very shy and charming and harmless, isn't that funny? Even with all of that, I still find this one of the most disturbing, unsettling movies ever made. Everyone laughed for about 5 minutes, partially out of relief. The thing I remember most clearly is someone asked him what kind of movies he liked and he replied, "I don't like horror movies, really, I like musicals". He was very nice and personable, wore glasses and a blazer, not at all like his character. If the movie had ended and I just had to get up and go home, I probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep for about a week. I mean lucky that I was able to have proof immediately afterwards that this was just a movie. When I say lucky, I don't mean lucky that I got to meet a celebrity (though that was neat). After I saw this movie at the festival, I was lucky enough to be there when Michael Rooker, who plays the title character, came out and lectured and did Q & A. It culminates in one of the most chilling, downbeat endings of all time. Things sorta go downhill from there, and the sister complicates things because she is so desperately lonely that Henry starts to look good to her. Henry is more sympathetic than Otis, however, because while Henry does these things because he is sick and doesn't have a choice, Otis seems to get off on them, and also should know better. Henry kills both of them sort of offhandedly, with no more emotion than you would swat a fly. One night Otis and Henry pick up a couple of prostitutes and are having sex with them in the car. Conflict comes when his disgusting nasty inbred cousin Otis Toole stays with him, along with his pathetic sister. The movie follows the exploits of Henry, a young man who is practically a textbook case of a serial killer (male, white, 30's, drifter, soft-spoken, shy).
The plot sounds simple but it's not boring. Think I'm paranoid? Watch this movie and see how safe you feel). In fact, after I saw this I never open the door when I am home alone and not expecting anyone, period. (a good rule- Do not EVER let a stranger into your house when you are home alone if you were not expecting him. Also, it's a good primer on home and personal safety. The movie also does not glamorize the killing or violence against women at all. I have always been careful as a woman whenever I am alone but after seeing the film, to this DAY I do not walk to my car alone at the mall without my mace in my hand, and I look all around me and never turn my back on anyone. There are so many shots you almost start to wonder what the point of the scene is until it hits you: they are ALL potential victims, this is how he looks at women. The camera looks coldly and calculatedly at different women in the parking lot from Henry's point of view. One of the most chilling scenes is early on, when Henry goes to a mall and just sits patiently in the parking lot, scanning. My friend I saw it with worked at the city prosecutors office and heard about plenty of local murder cases and said it rang very, very true to life. The stuff in the movie that scared me wasn't any big "jumps" or gore, just very disturbing, creepy moments (especially if you knew someone who was been the victim of a homicide, as I do). The opening and closing are probably the most frightening, and we don't even see Henry killing anyone, just the bodies of his victims and their terrified screams in the background, echoing.
My friend and I just sat there quietly cowering most of the time.
I saw this at a film festival and the audience was very, very quiet. As far as non-supernatural horror goes, this movie and Last House on the Left are the scariest movies I've ever seen. I can't name the scariest, I can name the top 5. Probably because I've seen over a thousand horror/fright/suspense/gore movies, I have trouble pinning it down. With the BWP hype, a lot of talk of going around about "the scariest movie you've ever seen".
