may contain spoilersi have very high expectation for this film and base on the trailer . i know a bit about the real ed gein and so i figure this be a medium budget hollywood version of the real event . man be i wrong . first and the writing apparently come from an eight grader who barely know anything about ed history and crank out the script in about 20 minute . the movie completely pass over the most interesting facet of ed and his relationship with his mother ( not to mention what the real police find in his house ) and decide to focus primarily on the young deputy who look like he just wander onto the set . likewise and all of the male character seem to be ad libbing their dialog throughout the entire movie . i be not exaggerate . don not even get me start with the historical goof in this movie . seriously and who the hell direct this . this movie be suppose to take place around 1957 and but the cop be carry modern side handle baton and some of the stuff in the hardware store look like they come from lowes and and when the cop get to a payphone he dial 9 1 1 ( do not exist back then ) . also and ed be a small guy and scary like anthony perkins character in psycho ( who be supposedly base on real life ed ) and not this burly dude who end up look way too much like the bad guy in men in black . another thing that really bug me be the appearance that the maker of this film shoot the whole thing in an abandon and 3 building set . because of the clever camera angle and you never see any actual town and and the interior of the set look like old and long abandoned shack . pop a cash register on a saw horse and bam . instant hardware store . i be usually pretty forgive of low budget horror film and but this one just begs for it . all you have to do be include most of the real event ( even embellish them . ) and pay five good actor instead of 15 crappy one and and for pete sake take 5 minute and think about the time period once in a while . my advice represent google ed gein and you will be far more entertained .
