Review
This account of the life of infamous
serial killer and cannibal Albert Fish looks good and offers a fine lead
performance by Belgian actor Patrick Bauchau, but the film never goes
beyond the strictly necessary and well-established facts. There is
little insight into Fish's youth and background, or to his development
as a criminal - instead the filmmakers concentrate on the much
publicised Grace Budd case, turning it into a very ordinary detective
story. The film's most powerful emotional aspect - apart from the
obvious horror of Fish's acts - comes through the portrayal of his
daughter Gertrude, who desperately tries to uphold her image of a good
father.
