John McNaughtons controversial 1986 horror, Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer makes its UK debut on Blu-ray.
In fact, it was not available uncut in the United Kingdom until 2003.
Henryis certainly not the kind of film you would use to demo your home cinema.
In fact, seeing the film on Blu-ray allows the viewer to see how dated it is.
The film itself however, is still pretty powerful in parts, and is a very difficult watch.
Henry murders indiscriminately, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

The film takes weird shifts in the way the murders are displayed.
Later, we are shown the full murders, as the camera follows Henry and Otis around without judgement.
Lines like Adios, amigo!
While some of the scenes are still horrific, a lot of them look cheap and schlocky.
