NOTHING HAS CHANGED (except for the actor playing Henry). We have the sick killer taken in by unknowing people, one of whom falls for him, and the killer invites one to murder with him. The guy who is Henry is ok, but I thought Mike Rooker was better for the role. Personally, I would have preferred something fresh, but this is a good 80 minute break from reality.

I was very excited to see the part 2 of that great movie “Henry”. First one was a real deal. In part II however, not only do they change the actor for Henry, the plot itself was pretty much the same thing as the original! What are you tring to do rip off moive fans? I understand this movie was made as a documentary style but… come on!
disappointed viewer sighs…

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.

A good film of its type, which is more realistic than a typical Hollywood serial-killer films.

While not a bad movie as many seem to believe, “Henry 2″ of course doesn’t compare to the classic original. The innovative, stark horror was there in the first film; it isn’t present in any great degree in the sequel. So this is basically a good, standard thriller, a nice follow-up but not really the same type of film.
