Customer Reviews:

Herny is Back!.......2007-03-28

Well are favorite Serial killer is back. This time he gets a job cleaning Port a Potties. This leads him to staying with the Husband and Wife who run the place. Cricket is the female lead who you just might reconize from Grey's Anatomys.(Kate Walsh) Any ways he discovers his boss is a Arsonist for hire. Well this is right Herny's alley he gets to burn things for cash. Well they run into problems at one of the sites and have to kill a couple of teens. Henery tries to lead his boss down a path of murder for fun. He follows at first but even with booze and drugs he finds he does not have the guts for it. Well as you can tell it a wild romp for Henry and his new friends. It does not have that same creepy feel as the first one but it does offer a pretty good second film. It still has those uneasy moments that make Henry a creepy kind of film. Just go into film knowing it is not as good as the first but still offers some good bits for a second edition in the life and times of are favorite Serial Killer.

lead is wrong.......2006-08-16

Solid cast, with the exception of the lead. Rooker from the first one should have been back, as well as the original director and writer: John McNaughton and Richard Fire, respectively.
This director here doesn't seem to get suspense--and it hurt the film. There is just no beating the original. Too bad McNaughton and the rest from the first flick did not come back for an encore--because now, even if they did, it might be way too late.
It's kind of sad, because McNaughton might have had a far bigger/impressive film career if he had.

Skip this one. See the original (20 year anni issue, etc.). It will give you chills.

mask to hide my face after watching this movie.......2004-08-26

I got this in a Region 2 two disc set with both Henry 1 + 2 released by Dutch-Filmworks. The original is great, but "mask of sanity" was the worst bottom of the barrel el-cheapo z-grade attempt at a horror film I have ever been witness to. No script (to speak of) no talent and nothing to keep you watching it through to the end. It also looks like it was shot on video tape.... Fans of the original will be mortified.

Guess who's back in the neighborhood?.......2001-04-18

Picking up shortly after the original left off, Henry (now played by Neil Giuntoli) takes up with a married couple and their disturbed niece, where he gets involved with the husband's arson for hire scheme. But arson only brings Henry so much joy, so he turns his new partner onto murder. This has been edited from the theatrical release (I don't know why) so the violence has been toned down. Again, the performances are good, but this one doesn't really grab you. Hopefully we'll see the uncut version soon, which might improve things. Penelope Milford (Coming Home) makes an early appearance as a victim. DVD extras include director commentary, trailers, and movie facts.
