Our recent trip to Chicago for Lollapalooza (my first to the city) included a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago and an architectural boat tour, as we tried to pack in some tourist activities around the music festival and my unexplained vertigo.
My wife had recently read The Devil in the White City, and so naturally the history of Chicago included mention of H. H. Holmes. It was a fortunate coincidence, then, when our search for a film to stream on Netflix led to H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer.
The film does a good job of telling the story, though I'm not a fan of reenactments, especially when filmed with cheesy camera effects. That said, the number of images of the Castle and Holmes himself seemed very small, and they did a good job to keep the visuals interesting given so little source material.
