"Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" is a study in contradictions. Ostensibly a horror film, it was widely praised upon its release in 1990 as a chilling drama that gives a glimpse inside the mind of a psychopathic yet undeniably charismatic manhunter — sort of a low-rent Hannibal Lecter in a wifebeater, a year before "Silence of the Lambs" came out. Some critics called it the best film of the year.
