the story of ed gein be interesting and very interesting . this movie and however and interest only in the fact that it be actually make . kane hodder portrayal of ed gein be so far off and it not even the slight bit funny . ed gein do not behave psychotic in public and he be very calm and collected and always extremely polite to everybody and talk to anybody who would listen and this be one of the major thing this movie fail to show the audience . but the big mistake of this movie and side from even one frame ever be shoot and be that ed never kill anyone without have be tell to do so by his dead mother and whom he think be speak to him from beyond the grave . he kill only the people who his dead mother say he have to because it be god will and and he be very remorseful about it and though that do not stop him from experiment with cannibalism and wear people flesh . i officially give this movie a rating of 1 simply because 0 wasn not give to me a an option . i highly advise all to stay clear of this movie . if you want to see a movie that accurately depict ed gein and doesn not try to put in a sub plot love story between a cop and a fictional woman who never exist and i highly advise you see the original movie and which unfortunately seem to not be on imdb . com though i could be wrong and but i have yet to find it here . the original doesn not stray from the actual event and doesn not try to twist the story . i can understand tell the story from a different perspective and but this movie just try to straight change the true story itself and something that i find as horrible a if someone make a movie base on 9/11 and but give it a twist that canada be behind it . or a wwii movie say hitler be a good guy and help fight the nazi .
