1/5
Ferrin's film is a throwback to the 00s in its focus on sensational bloodletting and prioritizing the killer over victims. Brandon Kirk is outstanding, but co-lead Susan Priver is in a different movie in a bad way Go to Full Review

Joe B @JoeB19 5d Really horrible movie. Just an excuse for glorifying mindless violence. No real insight into the psychology of Ed Kemper. Very inconsiderate to the victims. Don't watch it. See more Nicci h @Nicci 6d This is shocking in every way. I find the minds of people who do horrendous things to others disturbing but fascinating but never at the cost of the victims. I felt the victims of this show were dehumanised and used all over again.. disgusting. If their excuse was it was focusing on the mind of Kemper, they failed miserably there also, it is the worst true crime film I’ve ever seen by far. See more Georgie T @SnooBucket Jan 15 I don’t know who made this film, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It feels like it was made by high school students. See more Vicki W @Fiorina161 Jan 13 Terrible acting. Absolutely awful. See more Bronwyn N @boboknows79 Jan 12 What in the high school production is this? I have never watched 2 mins of a movie and been so appalled by how horrible one movie could be. How did this even make its way to Amazon. See more Adam B Dec 8 If this were a fictional story, it would just be a bad wannabe dark comedy with bad actors and terrible production. This being a biopic depicting the actual murders of real women makes this Ed Kemper movie an unacceptable insult to the victims and their families. See more Read all reviews
