"Ed Gein didn't just influence a genre -- he became the blueprint for modern horror - Variety"

Washington, DC, September 15

The streaming giant Netflix has finally released the trailer for 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story', which stars Charlie Hunnam as the titular infamous killer.

The official description for the third season states: "Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm - hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein's perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein's macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn't just influence a genre -- he became the blueprint for modern horror," as per Variety.

Alongside Hunnam, the cast of 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story' also includes: Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, Suzanna Son, Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill, Greyson K. Reilly and Robin Weigert.

Netflix shared the trailer of the movie on its Instagram handle on Monday.

These true crime stories are fascinating but also quite disturbing. Ed Gein's case is particularly chilling. Hope they handle it sensitively and don't glorify violence.

The cast looks amazing! Tom Hollander and Laurie Metcalf are always excellent. Ryan Murphy productions usually have great production value. Definitely adding to my watchlist 📺

I appreciate that they're exploring the psychological aspects rather than just the gore. The mother obsession angle is particularly interesting from a mental health perspective.

While I enjoy true crime, sometimes I wonder if we're giving too much attention to these criminals. Their victims deserve more focus than the perpetrators. Hope this series handles that balance well.
