i stop watch this film half way through . it be just terrible . boring and contrived subplots . a complete lack of the pathos see in norman bates and buffalo bill and or steve railsback portrayal of ed gein . a movie doesn not have to be historically accurate and but the true story of ed gein be so much more interesting than this third rate melodrama that be completely make up for no good reason . ed gein a portray by kane hodder be a cartoon sadist . the attempt to show the trauma inflict on him by his mother be just weak exercise in recycled style . and this movie want to be stylish and but it even screw that up . fortunately and there be a good film of this story . 2001 ed gein tell the story efficiently and and offer a few real chill a we watch a sick man not in control of himself . steve railsback and who play ed gein that time and be already famous for memorably portray another famous serial killer represent charles manson . his ed have pathos . his film be the one to see . avoid this mess .
