This biographic docudrama encompasses the life and times of the infamous Dr. H.H. Holmes. At the height of his criminal career, H.H. Holmes designed his labyrinthine castle of horrors in Chicago, where he rented rooms to unsuspecting victims visiting the 1893 World's Fair. Further benefiting from his victims, Holmes sold their skeletons to local medical schools and universities.
Hollywood is buzzing with the Holmes story, as Tom Cruise produces a movie based on the New York Times best seller, "The Devil in the White City" for Paramount Pictures.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "4 STARS! Utterly compelling! Forget Freddy and Jason; H. H. Holmes was the real deal. As a fan of both the horror and true crime genres, I've gotta be honest: This is one of the best films of the year! Don't see it alone, and try not to choke on your popcorn!" - Todd D. Schwartz, CBS Radio
"Recommended!" - Video Librarian
"Innovative! Creepy! True-crime enthusiasts will relish this disturbingly clever program." -Booklist
³A prime example of dedicated independent filmmaking² - Ain't It Cool News
"4 STARS, EXCELLENT! H.H. Holmes is absorbing throughout; showing a serial killer who you may not have heard of, but now you will remember him well. Reinforcements come in mighty quickly with Making of H.H. Holmes where Borowski demonstrates in 20 minutes what Hollywood should do with the making-of featurettes on their DVDs.² - Film Threat.com
³5 STARS, AWESOME! If I seem just a bit too effusive about just some little serial-killer doc and its first-time director, then forgive me. But if you spent as much time as I do watching movies as soulless as they are expensive, then you'd recognize this low-profile, high-quality docu-thriller as cause for high praise indeed.² - efilmcritic.com
"Audio and video quality are outstanding for an independent DVD release like this. It's amazing to see how much effort went into every detail of this 3 year production, nothing was left to chance. Highly recommended, check it out. - Monsters At Play.com
"It took the director-writer-producer three years to make H.H. Holmes and his efforts were worth it. The result is a compelling documentary told with authority and confidence." - Rue Morgue Magazine
³H.H. Holmes Manages to unnerve you more than any fictional horror movie could ever hope to.² - Video Graveyard
