Monster: The Ed Gein Story: The terrifying anthology series Monster is back on Netflix, and this second iteration is dark, cold, and despicably dreadful. Monster: The Ed Gein Story lays out the real-life horrors surrounding one of America’s most eccentric criminals, the man who inspired horror-pop icons such as Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs).
But be warned: this is not your standard true-crime drama. Instead, it is a most unsettling experience delving into a twisted psyche — one that may just make you ponder just how much darkness can the human mind endure.
Set in a small Wisconsin town in the 1950s, it tells the tale of Ed Gein, a quiet and reclusive man who lived alone after the death of his controlling mother, Augusta. What begins as a lonely life in the countryside soon spirals into something far uglier.
As authorities begin to study the string of disappearances and grisly finds, so unfolds the story of Gein’s double life. Each episode takes you deeper into the recesses of his mind, one inundated with secrets, obsessions, and acts beyond comprehension.
The series never spoon-feeds you the answers. Instead, it teases here and there while leading you toward piecing together a dreadful puzzle. To know how far Gein’s madness goes, you will have to stay on until the very end.
If you liked Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story or even Mindhunter, then this one is for you — but tread lightly. Monster: The Ed Gein Story is not just disturbing; it has a psychologically haunting quality.
