4.0 out of 5 stars Frighteningly diturbing, July 4, 2009

This was not a movie that you will be able to shrug off after you have seen it. You will think about it. It was detailed, heavy, frightening, interesting, hard to comprehend, gives you some explanation of his way of thinking, religion, perverse, Narration man's voice is good and creepy at same time. Every true horro person should see this. Not for everyone. Made me sick and very disturbed-some of his discriptions when cooking children. Glad he is dead. How many others are there? They are so good at fitting in with the rest of us. SCARY.

4.0 out of 5 stars ALBERT FISH, October 13, 2009

This review is from: Albert Fish (Amazon Instant Video)

Documentary about a real-life 'sado-cannibal' who enjoyed the taste of human flesh and the sensation of being tortured. The music and narration set the right mood for this ghastly story sure to shock and horrify even those with the strongest nerves. There are plenty of scenes of old New York which I liked.

There are also plenty of pictures of Fish as well as some recreated scenes. I find that artist who runs the horror museum to be a pretty interesting character. He seems to have a deep fascination with Fish's inner workings. He's very proud to have Fish's authentic letter framed. A very disturbing film, watch if you dare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing yet Facinating!, June 1, 2010

I fear I will not be able to get this movie out of my mind for a long time after watching it. It is very dark and educational. It travels deep inside the mind of Albert Fish and gives you strong detail to his life. The narration of the film is fantastic and gives the movie a chilly presentation. I highly recommend this movie for the ones who find the serial killer and their lives facinating. 5 stars in my book! very well put together! It is not a horror film it is a dark documentary about Alber Fish. Totally worth watching!
