Only reason to see this very loose retelling of the Ed Gein story is to watch the former Jason Vorhees in action. He is big, scary-looking at times and quick to kill. The rest of the movie is the purest junk, although it is moody due to the almost constant low-light shooting. The story line bears little resemblance to the actual Gein case, but I didn't even mind that until the damsel-in-distress finale. Gein was caught red-handed, but I doubt he was making off with a pretty young thang, very much alive, when they finally caught up with him. Talk about beauty and the beast! Badly acted and written, but it is nice to know Kane Hodder is still working. Bring back the real Jason Vorhees!
