Details

Henry: en massmördare (1986) is a chilling psychological thriller loosely inspired by the real-life serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. The film revolves around the sinister duo of Henry and his roommate Otis, as they descend into a world of indiscriminate murder.

The chilling killing spree commences when Otis' sister, Becky, comes to live with them. Henry introduces Otis to his sinister hobby, resulting in a horrifying chain of events.
