Jim C Don't waste your time. Not even close to the real Ed Kemper story. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Horrible depiction of Ed Kemper and the history behind him. The directors couldn't even get someone tall to play the part, seeing as Kemper was in fact 6'9". Would not recommend this movie to any crime buff, or anyone with half a brain. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Umm... Ed Kemper was 6 foot 9 360 pounds, not 5 foot 11 200 pounds :S Ps. They had cellphones in the 70's ? I was kinda hoping for a more real depiction. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
