Israfel D I enjoyed this movie. Don't understand all the bad reviews. A reviewer gave it a bad rating because of one scene when he locks himself out of the car and the victim unlocks it saying they can't believe it happened that way. It actually did happen that way. Do your research. Ed most tragic victim, Aiko Koo. She was his youngest, only 15. Aiko tragically is the one who Ed accidently locked inside the car, with his gun on the floorboard and the keys inside. She was home free at that point – if she could drive or shoot. But Ed simply motioned for her to unlock the door, and she complied.That gives me the chills - Dary Matera author of Ed Kemper - Conversations With A Killer Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/25 Full Review Catherine M You guys...it's like bad porn. You can't look away initially and then after awhile the bad writing and poor acting is just too irritating to watch. I looked forward to this and was disappointed. I will say the actor who portrayed Ed Kemper on Mindhunter was amazing in the role. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Susan M. This movie isn’t just bad; it’s a hostage situation. The acting is so unbearable. Don’t waste your time, because life is too short to watch people audition for community theater. The budget looks like it was funded by couch cushion change. Save yourself the ninety minutes. A blank wall is more interesting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review JOHN D. Terrible acting! You want to see the best portrayal of Ed Kemper watch Mindhunter. They should have cast that actor instead of this low budget community theater guy. This guy is nowhere near 6’9” which made Ed a truly menacing figure! And don’t get me started on the mother! Ugh…. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review R G I am not sure if it is the writing or the acting in the first 20 minutes, but it is unbearable to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Patricia J Very poor acting. The part where he kidnapped the girl at the bus stop? She locks all the car doors after he gets out with the keys and his gun but then unlocks the door and lets him in only to finish her off. I didn’t understand her mentality of that decision and find it hard to believe it happened that way. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
