Avis à la une
Not every movie can be a big budget classic, but this was a blown opprtunity. Good acting over-shadowed by low production budgets. Feels like a comedy show writer / director was forced to do a serial killer biopic. Pretty cartoonish. A respectable effort but the light-hearted feel of the dialog and photography made it feel more like a YouTube short rather than a movie. Also total mis-casts at almost every turn. It was amateur but a respectable attempt to tell a dark story within time constraints. Why does it sound like I'm rambling? Beacuse I am in order to meet the minimum characters required.
This Movie Illustrates a pretty graphic depiction the actual killings that are well documented, and If you knew anything about The Serial Killer Ed Kemper AKA The Co-Ed Killer, How he Murdered his victims and what he did to their bodies afterwards, You'd realize beforehand as I did that they would never make a movie about Ed Kemper, He was probably the worse Serial Killer as far as The Gruesome Aftermath, I thought everything would be censored, I was wrong, It's a disturbing watch for sure, because these Women depicted by actors were actually Women killed and any living relative could easily pinpoint who their relative was being murdered in the movie, The Ed Kemper story is Unique among Serial Killers, Mindhunter the Series did a Phenomenal job at showing how FBI Serial Killer Profiling became a thing and Ed Kemper who was already behind Bars helped tremendously in the FBI Profiling Science, it was somewhat similar to The Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Sterling interactions from Silence of the Lambs except they actually became friends, Ed Kemper was a Disturbed Psychopath but he that had a good sense of humor, people liked him, quick witted, High IQ borderline Genius, he was friend's with several Police Officers, Law Enforcement never caught him, and he was never ever a suspect in any way, and one day he just called the Police and said, I'm The Co-Ed Killer and want to turn myself in because my work is done and have nothing else to do, Not Deranged and completely in control, no desire to kill afterwards which made him an oddity among Serial Killers and he was probably the worse one due to the Mutilations he did on his victims, truly sick, part of his Psychopathic tendencies was due to emotional abuse at the hands Family Members, As a Teenager, He shot and killed his Grandmother but then shot and killed his Grandfather because he didn't want his Grandfather to see that he had killed his Grandmother, went to Mental institution and released years later as an adult, went to live with his mother and then the verbal abuse began and that's when the problems began all over again, only 10 times worse but this time as a 300+ lb 6'9 Adult Man, Mindhunter 2017 the series goes into great details on what he did and he speaks about his acts very nonchalantly like drinking a glass of water, This Movie goes into the Home Life, Before and After the Killings, but doesn't go inti the Helping the FBI part, I always thought they would never make a proper well budget Jeffrey Dahmer film or series and HBO produced one that properly shocked and informed, so maybe and Ed Kemper Series with a similar budget might be in the works since this whole story is truly fascinating, The Killing Parts and the Helping The FBI parts of the Story, To get a good grasp of The True Ed Kemper story, Watch this Movie and then Watch Mindhunter 2017 Series, This combo is good enough till we get a proper Budget Series like The Jeffrey Dahmer one, I'd argue this is a way more interesting true Serial Killer story than the Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
The practical fx aren't bad, but this movie is absurd. Every-time a screenshot of "Ed" would appear I'd nearly laugh out loud. The wig, odd expressions and wardrobe of the actor was just below amateur even. Nearly seems like an SNL spoof at times. I seriously do not have too many redeeming moments to mention. For some reason I kept thinking of the uncle from Napoleon Dynamite every scene Ed was in. If this were a film school final project I'd give it a D+. As a regular movie release? Well....pretty obvious. Just watch The Co-Ed Killer: mind of a monster in if you want to learn about Ed Kemper. Or seen him portrayed on Mind Hunter for a much, much better portrayal.
I really hope the family members of anyone involved in any way or actual people involved with the characters depicted never see this piece of s**t. It seems like a bad joke aimed at the victim's families. Like an episode of "1000 Ways to Die", where you are made not to care about the people who are killed because they were complete idiots anyway. It seems deliberately cruel, and that is unforgivable... according to Ed's mom....
Mocking the dead seems just as much a heinous act as the actual crimes being depicted. How this was given the thumbs up to even get funded is beyond me. Anyone taking part needs to be assessed by a professional....

Being a huge true crime fan, I was impressed that writer Stephen Johnston (Ted Bundy, The Hillside Strangler, Ed Gein) & director Chad Ferrin (Pig Killer, Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!, The Ghouls) really did their homework and got most of the facts right. Brandon Kirk and Susan Priver had amazing dysfunctional son/mom chemistry and their scenes together were just as traumatic as the murder scenes. Gore is realistic without being exploitive. The whole experience left me feeling queasy long after the end credits. I'm looking forward to the other true crime films(Dorothea, Night Stalker) that Dread is releasing.
