Read my spoiler-free movie review of Monster – The Ed Gein Story (2025).

---

American murderer and suspected serial killer Ed Gein is the subject of Netflix’s latest story in their anthology series about high-profile crimes and killers.

Co-created by Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy, Monster – The Ed Gein Story stars Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hollander and Olivia Williams.

Hello darkness!

I’m excited to see Hunnam’s impressive transformation because he’s a brilliant actor. But, since I’m still in my ‘not too dark, please’ era of film-loving, who knows if I’ll get round to watching this. Perhaps I’ll give it a go and see how far I can get. At the very least, I’ll watch all the trailers Netflix releases.

What are your thoughts on part 3 of Murphy and Brennan’s Monster series? So far, I’ve watched exactly zero, because both Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) and Monsters – The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (2024) proved too disturbing.

Laurie Metcalf, Suzanna Son, Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore and Addison Rae also star.

Monster – The Ed Gein Story Release Dates: October 3rd, 2025 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
