Review

 

Ed Gein tells the real story that inspired cinema classics such as 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'Psycho' and 'The Silence of the Lambs'.

Ed Gein (Steve Railsback) is a simple man who wants to lead a simple life on his family's farm. But the farm is remote, the family is gone, the crops perished long ago and the ghosts of Ed's past are coming back to haunt him. Ed always did have peculiar interests: reincarnation, head-shrinking, cannabilism and female anatomy but after his mother's death his obsessions escalate and freshly buried female bodies are starting to disappear. With the help of 'Gray's Anatomy' the skin of the corpses is fashioned into lamps and furniture and even a full bodysuit.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Atmospheric but lacking punch

Although this film is probably more akin to what actually happened it lacks the scare-factor and punch of others like it (Texas Chainsaw et al). The acting is good and in linking actual footage into the film one does get the sense of what it might have been like. However, these moments are too far and few between and so the viewer is left a little empty. The film becomes lost amid its documentary- style content whilst trying to keep the viewer occupied throughout. Generally this isn't a bad film and far better than many current horrors out there, but it falls short in delivering the killer punch!
