- Critics' reviews

-
"'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' is as fine a film as it is a brutally disturbing one"
-
"It is admittedly hard to look, but this is a portrait that demands to be seen."
-
"At the end, Henry is still out there among us. And he's no B-movie monster in a hockey mask. He could be the guy next door"
-
"It doesn't seem to be telling us much more than that the world is a scary place and murder is ugly. We knew those things."
-
"It is profoundly disturbing, even more for the questions it raises about the use of film than for the mutilated bodies that litter the screen"
-
"Certainly not for everyone, but if slasher movies are your cup of tea this is a lot better than most, and the use of Chicago locations is especially effective."
