Monster: The Ed Gein Story
- Created by
- Ian Brennan
Why it’s HorroRated
The Monster anthology has been consistently strong and the Ed Gein chapter might be its most compelling yet. The show takes the same approach it brought to Dahmer and Bundy: less interested in the crimes themselves than in the community and family dynamics that surrounded them. The Gein story is one of the stranger true crime cases in American history and the series handles it with the restraint the subject deserves. Strong performances throughout.
Synopsis
Part of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology, this chapter examines Gein's life, the small-town community around him, and the long period during which nobody connected what was happening right next to them. Less interested in the crimes themselves than in the family dynamics and community failures that surrounded them. Strong performances throughout.
