La documentary film narrated by Tony Jay, examines the life of Herman Mudgett, alias HH Holmes, the first American mass murderer. After Holmes moved from New Hampshire to Chicago in late 1800, he designed a house with secret torture chambers. Rented rooms to unsuspecting tourists who were then in Chicago, World's Fair in 1893, before torturing. The film covers the early years of Holmes, his trail of blood and doom.
Success and considered television documentary about the first U.S. mass murderer, the most famous contemporary Jack the Ripper . The director John Borowski has also reached out to another famous serial killer on another documentary, the grotesque Albert Fish: In no've found salvation (2007) . The film takes us a perfect match in the History Channel programming or the like, as it relates without pomposity and seriously the story of "Doctor torture." Interestingly, I caught a lot more history to the principle that the end of the film, because it loses a lot of strength when it should have its peak, reaching a bit boring in some moments. The good news is that there is no staging or reconstructions ridiculous squeaking in many documentary style. In any case, it is not the worst I saw, and is superior to many movies with actors on real murderers that are circulating. And there are many films I waited impatiently to take big disappointments ( Dahmer (2002) , Gacy (2003) ,...) and that's almost better to see in a documentary to take no disappointment ... Of course there are others, such as Citizen X (1995) on Chikatilo that are truly enjoyed. But focusing on " HH Holmes, America's first serial killer "I believe that without a big budget itself is well documented, with testimonials, pictures and drawings that illustrate the right way the film, with good atmosphere and music (although I to close the documentary would have included the " Dr. Holmes (He Stripped Their Bones)" in Macabre , what a great topic ... also missing the testimony of the trio of Illinois who are real experts in the field ...). In short, an interesting approach to the famous (though not much) will be worth murderer perfectly to know his delusions, trickery, and madness in just over an hour. -----------------------
