Shandra M Better than people say. It's about the mom living with the killer and it's interesting. Not great, and very low budget, but kind of good for what it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Russell C If you googled "Ed Kemper" and a video version of Wikipedia popped up and horribly acted out the answer for one & half hours. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Mary W The characters are portrayed as dimensionalized human beings without "humanizing" them in an unseamly way (the killer and the mom). I was taken with how I was invited to sympathize with the victims during the crimes. A very spirited indie exploration of this case. It got under my skin and made me think about how these horrible real life events end up being done. I was left disturbed, but wiser. A valuable little film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review mark h What an unbelievably poorly made movie. I can't believe people actually think this is good. Dreadful acting. At one point there's a scene with a solar panel farm behind him. The "protest" scenes are pathetic. There's hardly any of them, and they look like a bunch of 50 year old friends if the filmmakers. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Richie R From writer Stephen Johnston (Ted Bundy, Ed Gein) and director Chad Ferrin (Pig Killer, Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!) comes a film that made me feel uncomfortable. Brandon Kirk and Susan Priver playing the dysfunctional son and mother scenes were just as traumatic as the killings. Thumbs up! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Chuck C One of the better true crime efforts as of late. Always great seeing Brinke Stevens!
