I don't think this could bear less resemblance to the facts of the Ed Gein case if there had been a deliberate effort to avoid getting any details accurate. About all they got right was Gein's name, the deaths of his mother and brother, and the year and location of events. Most of the principal characters are not historically correct, Gein was NOT known to have killed men or young women (the only two he's known to have killed were both middle-aged and similar to his late mother), he did NOT have an accomplice, and the personality and physical type for Gein are all wrong. Then there were the problems with sound quality, cinematography, etc. Even on an HDTV, it was very hard to make out what was going on in some pivotal scenes due to very poor lighting and photography and dialog was hard to understand (and just why were the young deputy's mother and girlfriend so Southern when they were both residents of Wisconsin and the girlfriend's father did not sound Southern?)
I would really like to get back the hour and a half I wasted on this.
