Starring Michael Rooker in the title role, ‘Henry’ is inspired by the hideous exploits of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. The film’s psychopathic drifter coldly murders a number of people for no particular reason and without any remorse. Leaving bodies in his wake, Henry makes his way to Chicago, where he settles into the run-down apartment of his drug-dealing former prison buddy and occasional roommate Otis (Tom Towles, based on Lucas’ cohort Ottis Toole). Also moving into the space is Otis’s younger sister Becky (Tracy Arnold), who is fleeing her abusive husband. As she fends off her brother’s incestuous advances, Becky finds herself attracted to Henry —unaware that he and Otis are continuing their murderous rampage. And as you’ll see in this exclusive, it doesn’t take much to set Henry off.

“Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer” arrives in cinemas on October 21st via Dark Sky Films.
