Based on actual events, this controversial and critically acclaimed horror-classic chronicles a few short weeks in the life of a mass murderer whose story and provocative portrayal continues to shock and disturb twenty years after its debut. Michael Rooker gives a bone-chilling performance as Henry, a solitary drifter who leads his dim ex-jail mate Otis (Tom Towles), on a senseless killing spree through the streets of Chicago. Choosing their victims at random, they vary their methods of execution to avoid detection. Meanwhile, Otis' unsuspecting sister, Becky (Tracy Arnold), comes to visit and finds herself falling in love with Henry.
