the title tell it all ed gein and the butcher of plainfield . it not a zappy action fill slasher movie make for teen high on energy drink . that would fit it into a well establish genre and the kind that some people find entertaining and something along the line of halloween or the texas chain saw massacre . this be dark and slow and fill with chop up corps and and quietly evil . there be few shock cut and no monster point of view shot and no loud electronic score . i do not know who it aim at ghoul and maybe . beneath the credit we already see still photo of skull and carcass hang up and skin drape across the back of chair and that sort of thing . and theyre sufficiently revolt that i couldn not help think this movie have good be pretty good to make up for this grand guignol opening . ala and it not . the acting be uniformly terrible and a in a high school play . the script do it best to sink below vulgarity . ed gein and who kill only two middle age woman and maybe his brother and chase a screaming and bloody young woman through the woodland of weir and and she wear only a modern bra and bikini and rather than period underwear . gein also decapitate a night watchman and which he never do in any historical sense . the direction . you could do a good job . in the first few minute and law officer discover an abandoned car with blood spatter all over the windshield . there be no body . the handsome young deputy sheriff turn to his bos and suggest they search for the victim and who may still be in the vicinity and living . the sheriff and lack any motivation and shout at him and now you just forget that . i do not want you go off half cock on anything . it should be no more than a business like exchange of view . why do the director have the sheriff so angry . character of diverse sort listen to radio program or record that play old jazzy pop song louis armstrong ain not misbehave and for instance . this be what rural wisconsin in the 1950s . and the character insist on music that would appeal to customer of the cotton club in harlem in the 30 and or new york intellectual like woody allen . nope . the radio would be play kitty kallen wheel of fortune or theresa brewer or and equally likely and lefty frizell . not that the dysfunction between the music and the event add anything to our understanding of what go on beneath the image . someone involve in the production just like old jazzy pop song and that all . of course there only so much you can do with a low budget and but it can be light year ahead of this butchery . see ed gein and with steven railsback for an example of a much more sophisticated way of deal with this lunatic and his penchant for dead body and and on a budget that couldn not have exceed this one by much . these comment be all base on the first twenty minute of the movie . that about as far a i could get . if anyone find this tale to be well execute and fascinate in any way and he should try to find some insight into his taste . it beneath mine and i consider myself pretty warp .
