The movie Deranged is loosely based on the story of Ed Gein,
the grave robber and murder from Wisconsin back in the 1950’s. The character’s name in the film was Ezra
Cobb. The scene and most of the details
were correct, but others were kind of off.
Ed Gein was a short stocky meek and quiet man, and the man
that portrayed him looked like a drunken child molester. I’m not kidding. He was tall, thin, and old and dirty looking,
just creepy. The two murders were heavy
older women, but in the movie the woman that was killed in the hardware store
was a young girl. I guess they pick her
for the last scene, because no one really wants to see an old heavy woman
hanging naked upside down.
During the movie there is a reporter character that shows up
and fills in some of the information that was not shot. This man is standing or sitting beside Ezra
Cobb while he is cutting up or talking to one of the dead women he dug up. It is worth watching for the bad acting and
the reporter talking through the movie.
