Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield
(First Viewing)

A poor excuse at an Ed Gein movie. Horrible directing, bad script and too many character holes. We're never told how or why Ed is Ed. And the whole movie isn't even based on him. A great deal of the movie is spent on the town's deputy, his mother and his girlfriend. For a better version of the life of Ed Gein, check out In the Light of the Moon.
