Ed Kemper

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.

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....

This movie was a disappointment. Everything about was cheap. The acting, writing, story.... Everything. Nothing makes any sense and it's not entertaining. This was a waste of 5$ on Amazon. The relationship with his mother is completely unreal. The dialogue is really hard to follow. Me and my wife read this rating when it said 8.6 and I read the three reviews saying it was a masterpiece lol. This was really a disappointment because we were looking forward to an another ed kemp drama ever sense Netflix's Mind Hunter. Do your self a favor and don't pay to watch this movie. It's not worth your hard earned money or time....

Having watched over 6000 movies /series and loving crime movies / crime series / true crime - I'm pretty tactful as to how to rate a movie but this is just like a low low budget film with

1. Bad props, décor, set layout

2. Bad acting like those low rated budget films

3. Not much funds spent on this film that's for sure I could have probably made a better film in my back garden

4. Film work is not great either

5. The actors / actress dialog is really bad and just plain boring that seamed to drag on and on

If you have 93 minutes spare and you're boring yourself then you'll find this just down your ally.
