Monster: The Ed Gein Story Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
