Audience Member absolutely no redeeming value for the blatant gore, religious sacrilege, unbridled filth...and the occasional sympathy expressed by the equally challenged death shoppe owner. after spending a lifetime studying serial killers and their psyches, this film is the only one, of hundreds, that I found completely useless and sheer violence propaganda. don't waste your time. Fish was nothing except for a pathological liar. what a shame. surely this could have been informative, not glorifying. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This was one of the worst serial killer documentaries I've seen. The reenactments were disturbing, but not because they felt gory or real or scary... They were just really nasty... Like someone like Fish could watch it to get off... I didn't want to keep watching after that, especially since the scene was supposedly depicting an underage boy. It was gross and seriously unnecessary. It wasn't shown as suffering. Also, the "expert" was just a collector who happened to steal a letter by the killer. This guy obviously admires the killer and feels nothing for his victims. It's just not worth watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review adam b It definitely does too many reenactments and performance art pieces for my liking but it still is a fascinating documentary about one fcked up serial killer Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Learned a few things about Albert Fish BUT the reenactments were horribly done and very cheaply done. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Not for the squeamish. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member With the same production value of any A&E Biography on any number of famous persons I was expecting a certain something. But the individual (Albert Fish) this is centered around is not likely to be spotlighted by any television station. That's because he is one of the sickest, evil, vile, despicable humans I've never heard of. If I were to write the things he did to children, I might get arrested. Hell, I might be just for watching it. But that's what made this movie/documentary so good. Very dark, told with a chilling narrator who was able to take a first person perspective and give the gruesome details without flinching. I thought to myself, "They should make a live action movie of this!". But then I realized, you wouldn't be able to show ANY of the stuff Albert did. Weird but entertaining.
