The shocking true-life tale of Ed Gein, the infamous murderer and grave robber who inspired many of Hollywood's most iconic on-screen killers.
Where to Watch Monster: The Ed Gein Story
- Patrick WillisOctober 11, 2025A soulless, exploitative snuff film masquerading as a biopic. This isn't a study; it's torture porn that fetishises Gein's crimes without a shred of insight or artistry. A stupid, ugly, and pointless descent into depravity that just leaves an unholy stench. The only thing monstrous here is the sheer, unadulterated gall of the depraved Yiddites that wrote and produced it, and desperately hoped we'll mistake it for art.
- Kevin WardOctober 24, 2025Props to Charlie Hunnam because I somehow watched this entire series not realizing that was him. There is an interesting conversation to be had about Ed Gein and the influence his murders have had on major pop culture touchstones. I don’t think this series quite gets there though. And I was a bit bored by the time we got to the end.
- Austin BurkeOctober 24, 2025Season 3 is visceral, uncomfortable, and tells this true story of Ed Gein in a slightly fictionalized way, not straying away from his atrocities. Hunnam makes some interesting decisions that are memorable, regardless of how divisive they will be. The decision to include so many storylines heavily impacts the pacing, yet seeing the impact of Gein’s acts through future Hollywood films made it more interesting than expected. Laurie Metcalf steals the show.
- DOAN FSDOctober 17, 2025The acting from all talent was on a different level from most serial killer TV shows. Call me insane, because I was disturbed by how often I found myself laughing at the family dynamic insanity and Ed's immaturity. I'm not talking chuckles either; I'm talking the laughing fits. You couldn’t feel sorry for the bad policing and the constant overlooking of Ed’s disturbing behavior.
