A haaa! That's one of my top ten's right there. The existing 4K remaster (from the 16mm negative) already looks f**king mint on the Region A 1080p so this could be truly magnificent.

[Filmmaker]

So I got to be excited about my FiM-encoded French Blu-Ray for, like, what, five minutes?

But what a five minutes, eh?

[Jay H.]

This movie is hilarious.

I has never seen this. Should I has?

Dayum, Geoffy. I'm actually envious. To be able to experience Henry for the first time again, ahh what a horrifying delight that would be. Michael Rooker's best role, dude.

[DJR662]

Haven't seen this since the VHS days. I do remember this was a pretty unsettling movie.

You’re not much of a horror fan and this one is HARDCORE, so I dunno. Amazing independent film work, but I don’t know that it’s “your bag”.

[brainofj72]

Looking forward to this. Haven’t seen it in a long time.

[Abdrewes]

I'm baggin' this one!

It’s an incredibly bleak, repugnant and difficult film to watch. But not because it’s crap or exploitative. It feels very realistic.

[dallywhitty]

Henry has been on my watchlist forever (yes, somehow I've never seen the film in its entirety), so I'll gladly break my cherry in glorious, grimy 4K UHD.

I remember John McNaughton said that, right after the film finally opened in New York in the spring of 1990 (it was filmed nearly four years earlier), he received a call from Martin Scorsese himself, who'd had McNaughton looked up so he could call him, personally. McNaughton said Scorsese told him that "Henry" was the 'best debut film I've seen in over ten years', and that it was 'truly brilliant'. McNaughton was kinda over the moon, as you might expect....

A couple of years later, Scorsese and his regular producer (then), Barbara De Fina, asked McNaughton to direct a film they were producing, starring Robert De Niro (!), for Universal. Richard Price wrote it. It was called, "Mad Dog and Glory". It is a pretty good, underrated little film.

A few years after that, Scorsese would again lavish praise on a film McNaughton did called, "Normal Life", that starred Luke Perry and Ashley Judd. That film marked a nice return to McNaughton's gritty, indie, real-life style.

Safe to say, Scorsese is a fan.

Ebert also absolutely loved this film, even though he said it repulsed him.

And, yes, this film definitely has some intentional dark humor among the disturbing stuff. It's just one of those films, like "Salo", where people feel bad and actually aren't sure if they're supposed to laugh at anything or not. You are.

I have been hoping this would get a 4K release. Time to upgrade the old blu ray Steelbook.

Well made film for what it is. Not sure if one should own it but at least one should see it once.

[Babu93]

Seen it once, genuinely don't think I could watch it again or ever wish to own it.

Brilliantly made, truly and utterly disturbing.

I too have literally had the French FiM encoded release for like a month. Well, time to go all in I guess.

Fingers crossed FiM handled the Arrow 4K!

Has there been an Arrow 4K they haven’t encoded?
