This movie plays out like a terrible Hostel ripoff. Apparently, in order to be be based on a true story, you just have to have a couple names in common with historical figures. Ed Gein, as a man, was terribly interesting. His story was the inspiration for countless horror movies, but this is just plain awful. Graphic without needing to be graphic. Gory without any of the fun of gore. Even the sub-par acting takes a lot of the fun out of sub-par acting.
The worst part of this movie, however, was the fact that the powers that be didn't even care enough about it to cat a guy who looks like Ed Gein to play Ed Gein. Why, pray tell, does he look like a professional wrestler? Why does he talk so much? Why does he look so young?
If you like being disappointed and know nothing about serial killers, by all means watch this movie.
