Ed Kemper

This Movie Illustrates a pretty graphic depiction the actual killings that are well documented, and If you knew anything about The Serial Killer Ed Kemper AKA The Co-Ed Killer, How he Murdered his victims and what he did to their bodies afterwards, You'd realize beforehand as I did that they would never make a movie about Ed Kemper, He was probably the worse Serial Killer as far as The Gruesome Aftermath, I thought everything would be censored, I was wrong, It's a disturbing watch for sure, because these Women depicted by actors were actually Women killed and any living relative could easily pinpoint who their relative was being murdered in the movie, The Ed Kemper story is Unique among Serial Killers, Mindhunter the Series did a Phenomenal job at showing how FBI Serial Killer Profiling became a thing and Ed Kemper who was already behind Bars helped tremendously in the FBI Profiling Science, it was somewhat similar to The Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Sterling interactions from Silence of the Lambs except they actually became friends, Ed Kemper was a Disturbed Psychopath but he that had a good sense of humor, people liked him, quick witted, High IQ borderline Genius, he was friend's with several Police Officers, Law Enforcement never caught him, and he was never ever a suspect in any way, and one day he just called the Police and said, I'm The Co-Ed Killer and want to turn myself in because my work is done and have nothing else to do, Not Deranged and completely in control, no desire to kill afterwards which made him an oddity among Serial Killers and he was probably the worse one due to the Mutilations he did on his victims, truly sick, part of his Psychopathic tendencies was due to emotional abuse at the hands Family Members, As a Teenager, He shot and killed his Grandmother but then shot and killed his Grandfather because he didn't want his Grandfather to see that he had killed his Grandmother, went to Mental institution and released years later as an adult, went to live with his mother and then the verbal abuse began and that's when the problems began all over again, only 10 times worse but this time as a 300+ lb 6'9 Adult Man, Mindhunter 2017 the series goes into great details on what he did and he speaks about his acts very nonchalantly like drinking a glass of water, This Movie goes into the Home Life, Before and After the Killings, but doesn't go inti the Helping the FBI part, I always thought they would never make a proper well budget Jeffrey Dahmer film or series and HBO produced one that properly shocked and informed, so maybe and Ed Kemper Series with a similar budget might be in the works since this whole story is truly fascinating, The Killing Parts and the Helping The FBI parts of the Story, To get a good grasp of The True Ed Kemper story, Watch this Movie and then Watch Mindhunter 2017 Series, This combo is good enough till we get a proper Budget Series like The Jeffrey Dahmer one, I'd argue this is a way more interesting true Serial Killer story than the Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

Finally! A movie where the serial killer is like a person instead of a sinister avatar of badness. I didn't know how much I needed this, but I really did. He's just like this nerdy guy. He's not always presented in a way where it's pushed in our faces that he's creepy. No wonder this isn't a big budget film, because a big studio would never risk the audience misunderstanding it as an endorsement of serial killing, especially with all the graphic things this killer is shown doing. People who don't get this movie are so wrong. This movie actually trusts you to see right from wrong on your own. The killer doesn't talk like Darth Vader, none of that. Which is good, because it makes the point that serial killers blend in with the rest of us. This took a lot of guts to make this movie like this. Yeah some of the fantasy scenes are kind of dumb but at least they're creative, and they show you the difference between how the killer thinks vs what really happens. This movie doesn't need everybody to understand what it's doing, but there are probably enough people like me who understand. People can be offended all they want, but this really happened and the movie's telling us the truth. I heard about this from pvd horror's youtube account, and they were right. The movie is interesting if you're curious about true crime.

Having watched over 6000 movies /series and loving crime movies / crime series / true crime - I'm pretty tactful as to how to rate a movie but this is just like a low low budget film with

1. Bad props, décor, set layout

2. Bad acting like those low rated budget films

3. Not much funds spent on this film that's for sure I could have probably made a better film in my back garden

4. Film work is not great either

5. The actors / actress dialog is really bad and just plain boring that seamed to drag on and on

If you have 93 minutes spare and you're boring yourself then you'll find this just down your ally.

Ed Kemper does a great job of portraying the twisted mind of a serial killer with fantastic special effects!!!! A must see for true crime fans!

The editing, shots, production design all work together to bring this story of abuse and result to life.

Reading about Ed Kemper, it seems the director and writer portrayed the circumstances accurately. It's incredible how a deranged mind can inflict violence on innocent people instead of the cause of the trauma. Makes one really think about the consequences of abuse and how people can snap to the point of no return.

Great job everyone involved in Ed Kemper!

The practical fx aren't bad, but this movie is absurd. Every-time a screenshot of "Ed" would appear I'd nearly laugh out loud. The wig, odd expressions and wardrobe of the actor was just below amateur even. Nearly seems like an SNL spoof at times. I seriously do not have too many redeeming moments to mention. For some reason I kept thinking of the uncle from Napoleon Dynamite every scene Ed was in. If this were a film school final project I'd give it a D+. As a regular movie release? Well....pretty obvious. Just watch The Co-Ed Killer: mind of a monster in if you want to learn about Ed Kemper. Or seen him portrayed on Mind Hunter for a much, much better portrayal.
