- Roger Ebert

"Well acted and directed with little remorse for the victims." - Ken Kish, Cinema Wasteland

Henry (Michael Rooker) is a psychopathic drifter who has coldly murdered a number of people for no particular reason and without any remorse. Leaving scores of bodies in his wake, Henry makes his way to Chicago, where his murderous streak continues and he settles into the rundown apartment of his drug-dealing former prison friend Otis (Tom Towles). Also moving into the space is Oti's younger sister Becky (Tracy Arnold), who is fleeing from her abusive boyfriend. Henry soon reveals his troubled childhood background to Becky, which resulted in Henry's murder of his mother, the crime that landed him in prison. Unbeknownst to Becky, Henry continues to commit a series of random killings along with Oits, who has quickly developed a taste for murder...
