Directed by John Borowski
Year: 2004
Dr. Henry Howard Holmes was one of the first – and probably worst – serial killers in history. During his trial, dubbed “the trial of the century” in 1895, he confessed to 27 murders, although only 9 were confirmed. But his suspected death toll is much bigger and can be as high as 200 victims. All of his killings were done in his hotel, which he designed specifically for the purpose of murdering people in mind, compete with the torture rooms. John Borowski’s film was 4 years in the making and includes reenactments, testimonies, and documents from the trial. It received several awards.
