As cannibalistic serial killers go, they don't come more influential than Ed Gein.
Since committing his atrocities in 1957, the warped Wisconsin farmer has gone on to tickle the imaginations of "Psycho" author Robert Bloch and "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" filmmaker Tobe Hooper. He also prompted Thomas Harris to create the Buffalo Bill character in "The Silence of the Lambs".
Now he finally gets a picture to call his own with "Ed Gein", but other than serving to put a name on the infamous faces, this often hokey chiller fails to capture the macabre mystique of a man who has inspired dozens of Web sites, including at least one that sells Gein memorabilia.
While those fanatics will likely be drawn to this First Look release, their numbers probably won't be sufficient to keep the picture in theaters for any notable length of time, though it should prove to be a popular addition to those Gein collectibles on the Internet once it lands on video.
Steve Railsback, who previously dipped his feet in the dark side as Charles Manson in 1976's "Helter Skelter", gives a committed performance (he also takes an executive producer credit) as the introverted Gein.
Living alone in the home of his recently departed, very controlling mother (Carrie Snodgress), Gein finds company in the cadavers of women of a certain age that he has exhumed from the local cemetery. Armed with a copy of Gray's Anatomy and some sharp instruments, he converts the cadavers (mercifully off-camera) into some truly bizarre objets d'art.
With the scripture-quoting ghost of his dead mother egging him on, he then turns to living subjects, focusing on a raunchy bartender (Sally Champlin) and a grandmotherly general-store proprietor (Carol Mansell).
But shortly after their disappearance, it doesn't take too much detective work to figure out who the likely culprit is, seeing that it's hard for a weirdo to maintain a low profile in a a town of only 642 people.
OK, so make that 640.
Director Chuck Parello ("Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 2") is proficient at establishing the delectably creepy atmosphere, but Stephen Johnston's flashback-riddled script is filled with the kind of hoary fright-night cliches that prevent the film from being more than an ersatz "Sling Blade".
That prevailing lack of imagination takes its toll on character development. While Railsback's Gein is believably disturbed, he's written so transparently as "the town psycho most likely to ..." that there's little the actor can do to compensate for the film's disappointing lack of dramatic tension.
The same applies to Snodgress' deep-voiced portrayal of Gein's bullying mother, which simultaneously summons up Piper Laurie in "Carrie" and Mercedes McCambridge in "The Exorcist".
Only Mansell and, particularly, Champlin manage to inject a spark of originality into the otherwise stock landscape.
In the end, the film not only fails to add anything significant to the Ed Gein screen legacy but -- in the wake of those suggested portraits by Hitchcock, Hooper and Jonathan Demme -- it can't help but feel like, for lack of a better expression, overkill.
