Henry Lee Lucas (Michael Rooker) and his buddy Otis (Tom Towels) maybe your typical buddies but secretly they are murderers in Chicago. Henry has a fetish for having sex with dead bodies and animals including an appetite for murder at night secretly, hell even Otis and Henry both video tape killing people for their pleasures. Henry seems to be falling for his buddy's hot sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) but Otis doesn't want that, he wants to keep his horrible secrets to himself away from the girl he desires as he's actually a real monster within.

A powerful, brutal and unique horror drama thriller from writer-director John McNaughton is one of the greatest and most disturbing horror movies ever made. Based on the murders and life of Henry Lee Lucas who is a real-life killer, The film is very realistic and hard to watch at times even with the gory murder sequences and snuff-filmmaking scenes, the film is praised as a brilliant and horrific piece of cinema that really kicks you in the gut and never lets go. The film was made in 1986 but got an X-rating due to extreme violence and subject matter but didn't got to see the light of day in theaters until 1990 without a rating but tons of praise. It's not like your typical slasher movie, this is a very human and terrific movie that takes you inside the mind of a monster.

This Blu-Ray offers stunning picture with quality sound with wonderful extras like audio commentary, trailer, still gallery, documentary, deleted scenes and outtakes with optional commentary, storyboards and interview with the director.

This powerful film is well-written and well-acted, and the transfer of its original 16-mm (4:3 aspect ration) film to Blu-ray disk is great.

This movie is a definate buy. especially because my mother is in it. she is the hithiker. Michael Rooker became famous for this movie, this is the movie that started his career. This movie isnt like any other out there, its not made to try to make you jump, its one of those movie that just has the "real feel" effect to them. It is a must buy

The best thing about HENRY 2 is that it keeps the same monotone pace as the original. Though slow, Henry 2 features some truly horrifying moments, and fans of "Seinfeld" will be thrilled to see "Brody" the bootlegger as the title character! A must see for fans of the original.

I just dont get it. The movie SUCKED--stupid story about one killing after the other with 3 of the same characters throughout this mess, filmed 80% in the same room and talk ,talk and then stab.Please dont waste your money on this crap and dont believe the reviews that this was a great horror/slasher film.After seeing it, I threw it in the garbage--I would be a fool to give it to anyone who would think I was crazy for seeing this trash. STAY AWAY and save yourmoney.

I dont see the point in investing in a blu ray if they are not going to give you the full version of a movie, i have the regular dvd and its 130 minutes long. 2 stars just cause its blu ray. by the way this is not a true story just the names of the characters are real.

FIRST OF ALL THE MAIN CHARACTER IN HERNY 2 IS A FAT a$$, WHO WANT THAT AS A MAIN CHARCTER! ROOKER (SPELLED COMPLETELY WRONG) IS THE ONLY TRUE HENRY LEE LUCUS! A MUCH BETTER ACTER, AND SOME WHAT BUILT! SEE IT IF U WANT, IT WASN'T A HORRIBLE SEQUAL, BUT HERNY 1 IS 100 TIMES BETTER! SEE THE FIRST ONE FIRST!
