Henry is a psychological horror crime movie, it is directed by John McNaughton, and co-written by John McNaughton and Richard Fire. It is based on the true life serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. Lucas and Toole was two drifters, who was traveling around murdering people mostly around Texas. 3 murders was confirmed, but he confessed to over 3000 more murders. Most of the confessions were found false. Ottis and Henry met at a Jacksonville soup kitchen, and quickly developed a sexual relationship. Ottis later claimed to have accompanied Henry in 108 murders.
The movie follows the random killing spree of Henry Lee Lucas (Michael Rooker) and Ottis Toole (Tom Towles) a prison buddy who Henry is staying with. Ottis' sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) also moves in with them.
Ive always liked this movie from the first time I saw it, although it is not very historically correct. It still makes a great serial killer movie. I love the atmosphere of the movie, and the brutal killings. The soundtrack of the movie is also great, the theme song by Ken Hale, Steven A. Jones & Robert McNaughton. Both Michael Rooker and Tom Towles is doing a great job as Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. Great movie!
8 out of 10.
R.I.P. Tom Towles!
