Human Lampshade: A Holocaust Mystery (2012 TV Movie) User Reviews

Was a waste of an hour of my life.

I'd watched this program in the hope of learning just a bit more about this horrible period in human history and how people could devolve to the point of making a lampshade out of human skin. Unfortunately there was little information that I'd not heard or seen on numerous documentaries.

Here lies Spoilers: The final result that the lampshade that was the object of the entire show, and was dragged halfway around the world and back, and studied by multiple laboratories, wasn't even made from human skin. So the title of the show, which dragged me into watching it, was pure fantasy and the show was was a waste of my time. Very disappointing.

Not worth it.

Why was this made?! I would have thought this was a mockumentary. The history part in regard to what was done with human skin was intriguing and sad but the rest of it was not worth watching. Maybe if this was shot during the time he was investigating it so we would have seen his real emotions but it was recreated and therefore his reactions were that of a big joke, before we were told it was not human skin. It made me feel anger that he was laughing and making jokes about the lampshade when it was possible it was someones skin. Just skip this one, it's not worth the watch. You wind up just being irritated with the journalist researching the lampshade.
