July 5, 2009It's shot well, the acting is mostly competent (even if the characters are not) and the pacing keeps it from being a complete bore. The problem with this film is it's inaccuracies.

February 1, 2009I am sure that in 1957 these gruesome murders did shock the world, and we thought Hannibal Lector was bad. If all that they showed in this movie were true (Most Based on a True Story, Lack the true Details), then old Ed was a pretty sick person. I am wondering just how sick I am... read more

July 5, 2009Thought this would be awesome cause it basically was telling the true to life story of serial killer Ed Gain which the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer Leatherface was loosely based on. Ummmm no it was really bad with nothing scary at all going on here.

September 21, 2008This is a real true life horror story
There really was an Ed Gein
There is a Plainfield, Wisconsin
Ed Gein was insane and died in a mental institution from cancer. -
March 5, 2008It was good. I didn't think that Ed was fat but oh well how should I know. I still can't believe that is a true story. It was great movie.
