A few years ago I began watching the movie Ed Gein, Ed Gein is a true life character whose exploits are said to have inspired movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence Of The lambs. I never saw the end of Ed Gein, but a recent documentary on Channel 4 inspired me to dig out my old DVD to have a proper look. The documentary I had seen featured a large amount of newsreel footage showing people in the small town being amazed that Ed Gein had turned out to be a serial killer; and this is the first parallel odd of the movie.

This is a new movie about America's favourite serial killer/necrophile/cannibal/general loony Ed Gein. Although he didn't actually murder very many people by modern serial killer standards, he somehow caught the imagination of the nation in a way that few others have. He was, by all accounts, a fairly innocuous, mild-mannered type, living in small-town Wisconsin in the 50s. Everyone who knew him was astonished when it turned out that he was a murderer (but then isn't that always the way?). He even used to babysit for the local police officer's children. I've seen a preview video of this film, but I don't know when it's likely to be released in ... Read the complete review
