Both films are excellent in their own way. Deranged I would compare to the feel of the originalThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Ed Gein I would say is more like a late night movie on tv but yet both minor classics in the genre and of a truly horrifying monster.P.S. I laughed at Psycho. lol Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171976039468122299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-56588210655361234762011-05-11T19:53:40.351-07:002011-05-11T19:53:40.351-07:00Thanks for the review - I had forgotten so much ab...Thanks for the review - I had forgotten so much about that movie (I'm not even sure what made me ask you to review it?!) but I'm going to see if I can grab a copy to see it again.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791460180694556492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-26544182248171820432011-04-12T13:45:20.950-07:002011-04-12T13:45:20.950-07:00I've never had a chance to see it, but apparen...I've never had a chance to see it, but apparently in the U.K. release there's a scene where Ezra scoops some brains out of a severed head. Now that sounds like the work of Tom SaviniJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975984285410223395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-87877988385700423172011-04-12T12:45:01.176-07:002011-04-12T12:45:01.176-07:00I think you caught the essence of this movie. And...I think you caught the essence of this movie. And it's a weird one. The one and only time I watched it I kept scratching my head. Am I supposed to laugh at this? What's with this narrator guy (the actor plays it completely straight)? You're also right...even though the gore has that B-movie "That's Fake!" disconnect there is still a sinister wallop. This is a scary movie. I don't know if this is ever going to be on anyone's "greatest horror movie" list. That being said, it's worth checking out once. If only to exclaim: "What were they thinking?" About the Gein connection, I still single out Psycho as my favorite. I know it's very loosely based on Gein, but it still unsettles me. Nice review!Dusty https://www.blogger.com/profile/10716220249953555521noreply@blogger.com
