Quick Facts Albert Fish, Directed by ...

Premise

The film tells the true story of a sadomasochistic cannibal, child molester, and serial killer, who lured children to their deaths in Depression-era New York City. Elderly but still deadly, Fish was inspired by biblical tales as he took the stories of pain, punishment, atonement, and suffering literally as he preyed on victims to torture and sacrifice.

Reception

“Borowski offers plenty of material in his second docudrama to generate many conversations, raising his work above B-movie gore into the realm of philosophical discourse.”[1]

"A very well made and well directed examination of one of American history's most unusual and depraved subjects."[2]
