For Fear Of Metal HairBrushes: The Best Reason To Live Alone
When asking people what truly inspires them to be afraid, droves of answers can be counted.
Some will recount tales that they’’ve heard within their childhood, noting how terrifying they were. They’’ll weave stories of monsters lurking within the shadows, of beasts going bump in the night, and of the weird things they’’ve reflected on since they were children hiding neck deep beneath a garden of covers. Yes, many thing Lovecraftian, all with tentacles and teeth, preaching ordeals reaching well beyond the bizarre.
Others will tell of the things within nature that have made them afraid. They’’ll cite the fear they’’ve been given that makes them stay out of the water or out of the jungle, that keeps them away from insects of sharks, and that makes them leery of the other manifestations that nature can bestow. They say that this is because of what they can do, knowing that these beasts are predators and are accordingly worth fearing.
A minority of people see something within that statement that others do not comprehend, however, noting how some portions of nature are darker than others. Some cannot be avoided simply by staying indoors and can blend in with the normality of terrain, walking the streets of our cities and living in the homes so close to our own. These are everyday terrors and not those that blindside those unfortunate enough to be frowned on by the stars themselves. No, these beast look like you or I do, only those beasts are something all-too-terrifyingly different.Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a story about just such a beast, living and making his way almost invisibly and existing just below the social radar. He earns money by doing small jobs, killing insects of all things, and he shares an abode with his not-so-bright roommate, Otis. He seems like a normal guy, too, with a quiet manner, a tendency to smoke Kools, and a smile that seems disarming. In "reality," however, that couldn’’t be farther from the truth. In his spare time, Henry likes to pick up hitchhikers, to assail prostitutes and waitresses, and to visit "Mom and Pop" stores with one purpose. He likes to kill people. And he likes to do so in more-than-realistically horrific ways. While this movie is touted as barbaric by some and pointless by others, this is a reflection of the truth within our world. It shows a side we oftentimes want to forget, thinking that terror keeps to the shadows and can’’t move into our neighborhoods under our very noises. Through an array of well-done performances, this low-budget movie worms its way into a person and leave a chilling calling card. And while graphic and not intended for those not wanting some thick with blood and random violence, it is one of the more frightening things I’’ve seen in some time. And that’’s especially true in its "uncut" showing that is now available. - Rated 5 out of 5!
Sickening, Digusting, TOTALLY EFFECTIVE!
This movie will give you that deep sick empty feeling in your gut unlike any other horror movie. This movie is so disturbing because you can imagine yourself or a family member as being a victim of one of these crazy killers. Watch this movie and you will never be the same again with respect to your own personal safety, at least if you are smart and have a head on your shoulders.
