User Reviews
Gorehound99 – 8/10
“This film is brutally honest, and that's what makes it so terrifying. The acting is raw, and the atmosphere is so bleak it feels like you're living in Henry's world. It's not a horror movie in the traditional sense, but it will leave you feeling completely unsettled.”
NightOwl – 6/10
“I appreciate the realism and the gritty direction, but for me, it was a bit slow and lacking in plot. The performances were great, especially the lead, but I wanted more scares or a deeper story. It's a decent character study, but not my favorite horror film.”
SlasherFan2016 – 7/10
“Henry is a disturbing look at a serial killer's mind without the usual Hollywood glamour. The murders are brutal and matter-of-fact, which makes them even more chilling. It's not an easy watch, but for fans of true crime and gritty horror, it's a must-see.”
DarkWisper – 9/10
“This movie gets under your skin. The way it portrays Henry as a normal guy with a terrifying secret is genius. The scene in the living room with the TV – I couldn't sleep after that. It's a masterpiece of psychological horror, in my opinion.”
