When two couples walked out of a screening at John Borowski’s real life horror docu-drama, “Fish,” at Horrorbles small theatre in Berwyn, the filmmaker felt compelled to talk to them.
“They said, ?You do great work, we love it, but we just can’t take it,'” he reported, possibly a compliment of the highest order for a filmmaker of his genre.
Everyone, Borowski says, stayed for his next film, “H.H. Holmes,” a fact he credits to the romantic, even quaint Victorian nature of the story of the infamous Chicago turn-of-the-century murderer, who was America’s first known serial killer.
