An outwardly normal and unremarkable man, Kemper's decidedly low social profile helped him successfully deflect the suspicion of even Detective Tom Harris, a longtime friend of the secretive sociopath. Later, when Detective Harris is assigned to catch the killer, he is caught completely off guard by the revelation that his old friend Ed is to blame for the savage slayings. Now trapped in a vicious game of cat and mouse with the man who was once his friend, Detective Harris attempts to outsmart Kemper before the rampaging madman takes any more lives. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This movie is awful! I can't believe someone paid money to have this crap made.

When I rent a movie based on a true crime I expect it to be more true. This one fails. Kemper was a 6'9" giant that slaughtered his grandparents for the thrill. The movie plays very loosely with the real events of this horrendous killer. Also the real Kemper was much younger than the actor in the movie. Not a good movie if you are looking for a true to life accounting of the events.

The story was interestingly written. I do not know how close to the truth it was. The acting was poor, Good actors could have put some emotion and life into the film.
