Help me identify serial killer movie: Late night Cinemax

Many years ago I was up late watching Cinemax and saw a movie about this serial killer guy. I saw a title on the movie guide that I assumed was the movie for years-Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer. I told my girlfriend how messed up this movie was. I could only remember a couple scenes and I never saw the beginning of the movie. So we rented it on Netflix and it was not the movie that I thought it was. Michael Rooker was Henry and Tom Towles was his dumb buddy Otis. Rooker looked different than the man I remember. So after all these years I find that it was a different movie.

The movie I saw on Cinemax was probably on around 1993-1995. I'm not sure. It shocked me that they even showed it. There was this killer and he had sort of reddish brown hair, thinning in front. He had a moustache and he had a buddy that was very much like Otis. He was dumb and he had dark hair and a moustache, possibly a bit of a beard. The killer really seemed like a creep-more than Michael Rooker ever was in Henry.

They go to this blonde woman's house late at night to fix her air conditioner. She lets them in and the dark haired buddy goes back to look at the bedroom air conditioner while the guy I thought was Henry chats with her in the living room. After a few minutes psuedo Henry says something creepy and makes the woman uncomfortable. She says,"Let's go see how the air conditioner is coming along" or something along those lines. They go back to the bedroom and fake Henry follows. When she opens the door she sees the dark haired, dumb buddy sitting at her make up table putting on her makeup. She immediately freaks out. So they throw her on the bed and fake Henry rips of her shorts(She's on her belly) and starts to rape her while she is screaming hysterically. Then fake Otis slits her throat while he is doing it. I'll never forget seeing that. I have no idea what the title was.
 
No, that wasn't it. I already checked on that one. I meant to mention it in my original post, but then forgot to. The commercial was on the Henry DVD along with another really bad movie that looked like it was made for $1.50 for the chiller channel.
 
There was another scene that might help. When I first tuned into the movie the two guys were with a woman. She had dark hair. I presume the girlfriend of fakeHenry. They have to run away because I think the cops were coming. They run across this orchard or something. There were trees. She has a knife and accidently cuts fakeHenry on the arm. She knows that he is a psycho and immediately knows that she is screwed. He kills her(Maybe with a gun, not sure).

Movies used to take about 2 years to go from theatre to cable back then. That is if it was new and big. So it might have been released about a year before since it was cheap. Not scifi cheap. I don't remember the film looking too crappy.
 
I remember seeing this movie as well, but I'll be no help. I can't remember any name actors. Wasn't the woman they were with picked up at a highway rest stop? Disturbing movie.
