Deranged: The Confessions of a
Necrophile

This is a Canadian-American horror film made in 1974. It was directed by Alan Ormsby and Jeff Gillen. It is also known by the title Deranged: The Confessions of a Necrophile in the USA. This is based on Ed Gein.
The Plot
It’s
based on the serial killer Ed Gein. A deranged rural farmer becomes a grave
robber and murderer after the death of his possessive mother whom he keeps her
corpse, among others, as his companions in his decaying farmhouse.

This film
I did like a lot. It was very tense at times. The actor whom re-acted what ‘Ed
Gein’ did back in the 1950’s man he was so creepy.
At one
point when he was spooning out the brain of a corpse and putting into a mug I thought
he’d eat it – thankfully he did not. That scene was very eerie indeed but great.


I thought
this film was bizarre, but the film was good. I thought it was so weird when
all of the corpses were around the dinner table together; it was kind of cool –
just weird as well.
I found
that the main character was really creepy and he’d kill only women in this
film. He’s mother was a bit creepy when she was talking to him.
I thought
the way he’d kill the different people in this film was very interesting. The one
kill where he hanged a tied naked women and cuts part of her – so she bleeds to
death. That was a bit shocking, but was pretty awesome scene.
I also
found that it was weird how he’d talk to the dead corpses …
There were
some other great scenes in this film. The acting throughout the film was really
good. The score suited the film great. It lets you know when the tense moments
are happening. The score definitely suited the atmosphere.
This is
a great underrated horror film. It’s very interesting and indeed so creepy! The gore was great – it wasn’t too much are
too little.
Overall,
I did enjoy and like this film a lot. Yes, it is bizarre and creepy which didn’t
bother me too much. It was very interesting to see the case of Ed Gien and what
he did. The acting was great, the score was awesome. If you like seeing dead
corpses, horror and bit of gore you’ll enjoy this one. I would recommend this,
it’s worth a watch. It’s also from arrow video.
