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.
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....
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.
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.
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!
