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!

Not every movie can be a big budget classic, but this was a blown opprtunity. Good acting over-shadowed by low production budgets. Feels like a comedy show writer / director was forced to do a serial killer biopic. Pretty cartoonish. A respectable effort but the light-hearted feel of the dialog and photography made it feel more like a YouTube short rather than a movie. Also total mis-casts at almost every turn. It was amateur but a respectable attempt to tell a dark story within time constraints. Why does it sound like I'm rambling? Beacuse I am in order to meet the minimum characters required.
Being a huge true crime fan, I was impressed that writer Stephen Johnston (Ted Bundy, The Hillside Strangler, Ed Gein) & director Chad Ferrin (Pig Killer, Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!, The Ghouls) really did their homework and got most of the facts right. Brandon Kirk and Susan Priver had amazing dysfunctional son/mom chemistry and their scenes together were just as traumatic as the murder scenes. Gore is realistic without being exploitive. The whole experience left me feeling queasy long after the end credits. I'm looking forward to the other true crime films(Dorothea, Night Stalker) that Dread is releasing.
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.

I really hope the family members of anyone involved in any way or actual people involved with the characters depicted never see this piece of s**t. It seems like a bad joke aimed at the victim's families. Like an episode of "1000 Ways to Die", where you are made not to care about the people who are killed because they were complete idiots anyway. It seems deliberately cruel, and that is unforgivable... according to Ed's mom....
Mocking the dead seems just as much a heinous act as the actual crimes being depicted. How this was given the thumbs up to even get funded is beyond me. Anyone taking part needs to be assessed by a professional....
