H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer

Alternately fascinating and dopey.

Should be especially pleasing to crime buffs and those movie fans crazy about the serial-killer genre.

more of a curiosity for the interested than a lasting commentary on the criminal mind

[Director] John Borowski lends an eerie atmosphere to the proceedings.

A rather neat, independently-produced documentary about H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer (don't ya just love descriptive movie titles?)

There's a current that runs through this movie, one that reeks of a storyteller who's truly fascinated by his research and loves to share it.
