A deeply disturbing documentary portrait of a serial killer whose religious delusions and sadomasochistic pathology drove him to torture and cannibalize children, exploring the intersection of faith, suffering, and depravity.

Albert Fish, the horrific true story of elderly cannibal, sadomasochist, and serial killer, who lured children to their deaths in Depression-era New York City. Distorting biblical tales, Albert Fish takes the themes of pain, torture, atonement and suffering literally as he preys on victims to torture and sacrifice.
