Deranged

This ultra-low budget film showcasing Ed Gein's downward spiral and ultimate fall to the dark side is eerily depicted in this creepy cult film. Roberts Blossom (remember Marley from Home Alone?), plays Ezra Cobb, the ficticious character inspired by Gein, in a chilling performance. Living with his overbearing and controling mother has given him a distorted view on the world, women in particular. You know the story, but probably haven't seen the movie. Although I did find the news reporter who narrated the story to be somewhat unnatural. Other than that, it's a very unappreciated horror film.

I haven't seen it anywhere available for to rent, but you can find it on double feature DVD with "Motel Hell" (another classic!!) for around $10. Buy it, you won't be dispointed. Except if you don't like it. Excuse me for sounding cliché, but great for a rainy Friday night. (*** out of ****)
