This really is a pretty good film about the notorious killer Ed Gein, who inspired films like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. Despite that the film (of course) has it's weak points. First of all there are the bad effects which are caused by lack of budget, but there also is another thing not too good about this film. That would be the script. OK I admit that the story itself is really accurate and makes good use of the mysteries revolving around Gein's activities, but there is one thing there that is badly executed. The director and scriptwriter, actually to give us a picture of Gein's schizophrenia, by letting his mother surface numerous times (directly and indirectly). On some of these occasions I felt that only making us (the viewer) hear her voice would have been sufficient. Otherwise this was pretty good and interesting. I kind of enjoyed this one, but then again, I'm studying psychology (maybe that's why I like this film).
