About

A psychopathic drifter moves in with a prison acquaintance in Chicago, where the man's sister comes to stay.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer follows Henry, a psychopathic drifter who travels across America and kills with seeming impunity. In John McNaughton's 1986 independent film, Michael Rooker plays Henry in his film debut. Henry arrives in Chicago and moves in with Otis, a prison acquaintance played by Tom Towles. Otis's sister Becky, played by Tracy Arnold, comes to stay in the apartment they share. The characters of Henry and Otis are loosely based on the convicted serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole.
