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.

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.

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!

As a Private Detective and Cult Investigator I found this specific film extremely educational and entertaining. There are still in our society multiple serial killers that have not been identified or arrested. This film proves again about the continued lack of law enforcement intervention as with the 1960's Zodiac murders, and others at large in our century! This film is well documented, accurate and set forth with great reviews!The H.H Holmes Film should also be watched in order to psychologically analyze the sadistic nature of these Machiavelical characters who practice Canibalism as Jefrey Dammer did!

The blood and gore used to dramatize the movie was overkill....other than that it was good.

this film is insulting, it almost if not totally tries to remind us silly people that Albert was a human being, they interview one of the most scary weirdos in documentary history who tries to convince us that albert was some kind of prophet, he was only doing what the bible said and in a further insulting attempt at intellectual dept. it tries to convince us that we all have a little albert in us. look people who kill children are sick broken organisms, they are NOT human beings, what makes us HUMAN is our ability to sympatise, love, protect, contribute, create, and what makes a man is the natural instinct to PROTECT children not torture kill and eat they're remains. i've had enough of liberal crap productions, documentaries,movies that try to paint killers with a human tone. castrate the pedophiles on the spot, burn the child killers and stick your sympathy for the murderers up your arse.

The creators of this documentary make a pretense of being horrified at this man's behavior, and then proceed to wallow in it for 90 minutes. Honestly, some of the "dramatic recreations" (eg Albert Fish kneels in front of Jesus Christ and starts biting off chunks of his flesh) would be laughable if they weren't flat out disgraceful.

There's a fine line with these kinds of documentaries between offering genuine insight into the human condition, and showing off a prurient fascination with tedious, sordid details. This doc is wedged hopelessly in the latter camp. It's over-long, lacking genuine insight, and is too much in love with the subject matter. Did we really need to see and hear a prolonged recitation of the way he liked to cook and eat little boys? Save your money, and don't give it to them.

I dont know why this video got all these amazing reviews. I was so disappointed. The story itself is very interesting (and disturbing) but it could have been told in probably thirty minutes. They kept repeating stuff over and over and it was like they were trying to use filler to make it longer. It got to the point where i just wanted it to be over cause it was dragging on. Go to wikipedia and and read his bio and save yourself a bunch of time.
