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....

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.

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.

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.

This has real potential. Watching it, I kept wondering what it might've looked like with a bit of mentorship or just more time to fully develop the idea.

The story choice isn't the issue - it's obviously rooted in fact, and your interest in the subject comes through. But the way it's presented feels more like a reenactment than a deeper exploration. It ends up sitting in this in-between space - not quite historical, not fully personal.

That said - I want people making films like this. It's important that young creators are engaging with recent American history, even its darkest parts. But when it comes to something this well-known, the big question becomes: what are you bringing to it that we haven't seen before? If you're offering a new theory - go bold. If your angle comes from less-discussed or minority-sourced evidence, be specific. But don't remix half-defined ideas or rely on what the viewer already knows. You've got to guide us somewhere new.

One moment that really stood out - and not necessarily in a good way - was the opening scene. There's an actual photo of JonBenét Ramsey in the background, meant to pass as a relative in the shot. It's more immediately recognizable than the depiction of Ed Kemper, which pulled me out of the story right away. It felt unintentional, like the symbolism was working harder than the script. That kind of choice is a risk - it can come off powerful, or confusing. Here, it did the latter.

There's clearly a curiosity behind this project, and a willingness to engage with heavy subject matter. That's a strength. But next time, lean all the way in. Take creative risks you can defend. Be specific about your perspective. Show us why this story matters to you, and not just why it's shocking.

Looking forward to seeing what you make next - just don't hold back.

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.

Finally! A movie where the serial killer is like a person instead of a sinister avatar of badness. I didn't know how much I needed this, but I really did. He's just like this nerdy guy. He's not always presented in a way where it's pushed in our faces that he's creepy. No wonder this isn't a big budget film, because a big studio would never risk the audience misunderstanding it as an endorsement of serial killing, especially with all the graphic things this killer is shown doing. People who don't get this movie are so wrong. This movie actually trusts you to see right from wrong on your own. The killer doesn't talk like Darth Vader, none of that. Which is good, because it makes the point that serial killers blend in with the rest of us. This took a lot of guts to make this movie like this. Yeah some of the fantasy scenes are kind of dumb but at least they're creative, and they show you the difference between how the killer thinks vs what really happens. This movie doesn't need everybody to understand what it's doing, but there are probably enough people like me who understand. People can be offended all they want, but this really happened and the movie's telling us the truth. I heard about this from pvd horror's youtube account, and they were right. The movie is interesting if you're curious about true crime.

Hear me out. This movie broke my heart, in a good way. Yes it's cheap and janky but it showed me something. We go through life wondering, "How can people do such evil stuff?" This movie shows you how.

It showed me how evil is committed by regular people who are not the boogey man; it takes you through it. Everything has to be in just such a way, like the conditions for starting a fire.

This was fascinating and weirdly empowering in how it demystified a dangerous person for me. And so much of it's true, I looked it up and couldn't believe it.

I think people should watch this movie, but not kids under 16.

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.

Better than I thought it would be, sort of reminiscent of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer but sunny California version. On par with the writers other biopics of Ed Gein and Ted Bundy. This film nailed the period and feel of the 70s in the best way. Overall the acting was well done, Brandon Kirk and Susan Priver really nailed it!

So, if you dig serial killers this is something I recommend, it covers Edmund Kemper through his childhood up to his arrest in 1973 and had numerous little tidbits that I looked up after watching to see if they were true or not...fact is stranger than fiction for sure. Fingers crossed that it gets a DVD release.

"ED KEMPER" is one of the most engaging and brutally realistic portrayals of a serial killer I have ever seen. Masterful storytelling and absolutely award-winning performances make this film a definite must see for all true crime fans, and all horror genre connoisseurs. The special effects in the film are absolutely medically accurate and gruesome. Bravo to the entire cast and crew! I looked over at someone watching the movie in the theater and I saw a grown man covering his eyes with his hands. I asked him after the movie why he had to go so far as to cover his eyes with his hands, and he told me he didn't want some of the brutal images seared into his mind forever ...he was moved to take such drastic measures. :D.

Ed Kemper does a great job of portraying the twisted mind of a serial killer with fantastic special effects!!!! A must see for true crime fans!

The editing, shots, production design all work together to bring this story of abuse and result to life.

Reading about Ed Kemper, it seems the director and writer portrayed the circumstances accurately. It's incredible how a deranged mind can inflict violence on innocent people instead of the cause of the trauma. Makes one really think about the consequences of abuse and how people can snap to the point of no return.

Great job everyone involved in Ed Kemper!

Highly recommend for any and all True Crime fans. This is an approach like you haven't seen before. It's worth your time!

In a genre that typically feels contrived, these performances work. Definitely not a talking head interview show with terrible reenactments. Not saying those types don't have their place, but I highly suggest you turn off your other devices and lock in....you'll be drawn into the world of Kemper and the filthy, deranged mind that is willing to live a life of such repute.

Some may say sensationalization, but I don't buy that at all...this is a team of filmmakers and cast that took the dive to tell a human story that lets the audience peer through a forbidden window.

Enjoy!

This is supposed to be like mindhunters but its not at all movies and tv need to be expensive to be good did any of this rlly happen even did these ppl ever write a movie before obviously film students wrote it they just hang around in the house why is satan in this movie lol what is that supposed to even mean they just made up a lot of stuff and put whatever they felt like the guy looks different when hes a kid from when hes old i want to watch more mindhunters again i just want to watch the guy talk slow and eat a sandwich that was amazing but this movie is dumb ngl smh why do ppl like this.

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....
