Synopsis
Loosely based on the real life crimes of American serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, John McNaughton’s haunting film is a grim journey into the life of its twisted subject that refuses to moralise or judge. Arriving in Chicago, Henry (Michael Rooker, in what is undoubtedly the finest performance of his patchy career), moves in with ex-con acquaintance Otis (Tom Towles) and starts schooling him in the ways of the serial killer. –BBC Films

the two scenes with the tv were pretty funny & the one with the broken cam-coreder just perfect... a nice fiction version of Henry & Ottis..!

An uncompromising, grim film. Fights a low-budget with solid performances, tight direction, and a serious approach to it's material ranks it high amongst other serial killer pics. Another example that reinstates the unimportance of a budget to make a well-done horror film.
