Tagline: Before DAHMER, Before GACY, There was ED.
Plot: Ed Gein, a shy and retiring 1950s Wisconsin farmer, shocked the nation in 1957 when he was discovered to be a deeply deranged serial killer. Gein, a serial killer of nightmarish proportions, became the inspiration for Robert Bloch's novel PSYCHO, adapted for Hitchcock's legendary film, as well as the films THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. ED GEIN recreates the early years of the reclusive man (Steve Railsback) who was raised in relative seclusion by an abusive father and an extremely domineering and puritanical mother (Carrie Snodgress.) As Ed grew to adulthood in the small farming community of Plainfield, Wisconsin he developed an unnatural obsession with his mother and her ultimate approval. After her death, Ed was possessed by her spirit, psychologically unable to give up his lifelong adoration of his deeply devout, brutal, and deranged companion. Driven insane by his own obsessions, Ed became an amateur grave robber in Plainfield and eventually became a solitary practioner of grotesque anatomy experiments and cannibalism. His fetishistic infatuation with the female body and bloodthirsty repressed lust eventually led him to murder the first of his victims, a seductive bartender (Sally Champlin), who Ed believed his mother would disapprove of.

 Armchair criminologists looking for a true documentary of Geins life will leave disappointed, those expecting a gory fascinating trip will leave disgusted, those who are looking for something to watch when all the good movies are rented out might not mind this at all. It's a somber if untruthful look at a man who ignited a million mythic stories and characters, a man who quite literally termed the phrase, "serial killer."--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Dont rent this movie expecting lots of gore. This is more of a drama than anything. Check this movie out if you're interested in the man who inspired Psycho and TCM. 6/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
Fairly quiet on the horror elements but subtley appropriate with steady direction and some really surreal visions of Gein's dead mother.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)

Aside from a naked headless corpse that is gutted and hung upside down to be bled dry there is absolutely no really stomache turning goodies for the delight of you kids. ... Overall this movie wasn't that great but it did have it's moments and was pretting interesting considering that Ed Gein was a real person.  --Joe Hui (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
