Advantages: A great performance by Carrie Snodgress
Disadvantages: Dated, a bit dull and far too much sumising

...I began watching the movie Ed Gein, Ed Gein is a true life character whose exploits are said to have inspired movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence Of The lambs. I never saw the end of Ed Gein, but a recent documentary on Channel 4 inspired me to dig out my old DVD to have a proper look.
