FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KILLER DOUBLE FEATURE FOR CHICAGO FILMMAKER
Native Chicago filmmaker revisits old haunts for double feature of works.
West Hollywood, CA Native Chicagoan John Borowski revisits his old haunts
to attend a double dose of his films: Albert Fish (2007) and H.H. Holmes:
Americašs First Serial Killer (2004). Chicagošs Portage Theatre will host
the double feature on March 23rd at 7:30pm (Holmes) and 9:00pm (Fish).
Borowski will be on hand for Q&A after the shows.
ALBERT FISH tells the horrific true story of a sadomasochistic cannibal and
serial killer, who lured children to their deaths in Depression-era New York
City. Elderly but still deadly, Fish distorted biblical tales by taking the
stories of pain, punishment, atonement, and suffering literally as he preyed
on victims to torture and sacrifice. About the elderly cannibal, Borowski
says ŗNo figure leaves such an indelible impression as Albert Fish. [He] is
an important study in the history of American crime.˛ Though Albert Fish
terrorized Manhattan decades ago, Borowski points out that Fish is ŗnot a
phenomenon limited to his era; he lives in our society today.˛ Albert Fish
is screening at the Portage Theatre on March 23rd at 9:00pm. It is the first
docudrama and definitive chronicle of the life and times of this murderous
figure.
HH HOLMES is the story behind America's first serial killer who terrorized
Chicago during the turn-of-the-century World's Fair. Borowski chronicles the
details of Holmes' grisly life, beginning with his childhood, through the
emerging deceptions that brought him to Chicago, the construction of his
notorious "death house," the cross-country man-hunt to find him, and finally
ending with his incarceration and execution. Holmes' story also became the
subject of the best-selling novel, Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson.
Rife with speculation, a definitive number of victims was never made
certain, however Borowski offers, ŗPeople say he could have killed hundreds,
and being the ambitious young man that he was, maybe it isn't far from the
truth.˛ H.H. Holmes is screening at the Portage Theatre on March 23rd at
7:30pm.
At Chicagošs Midwest Independent Film Festival, Borowski earned the Best
Director award, and at Screamfest LA, he walked away with the award for Best
Horror Documentary. By exclusive invitation, he screened H.H. Holmes and
lectured at the Chicago Historical Society, Chicago International
Documentary Film Festival, St. Xavier University, and Indiana State
University, as well as other Midwest libraries and colleges. A Chicago
native, Borowski now resides in West Hollywood, California where he is
currently writing his next film.
