A double bill of rural schlock, with both entries gruesome but somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Deranged was inspired by the unsavory saga of Ed Gein, whose isolated madness oiled the gears of both Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This is a low-rent production all the way, but its shabby locations have a certain eerie authenticity, and it benefits greatly from the casting of the reliable character actor Roberts Blossom--a scarecrow in the American Gothic mold--in the lead role. Now and again a somber but vaguely amusing narrator wanders into the frame to remind us that we are watching the tale of "a necromaniac, a defiler of the dead," as though we could forget. Serial-killer completists should check it out.Motel Hell is slicker but less effective. Former Western star Rory Calhoun plays Farmer Vincent, a country hotel keeper (free samples of jerky at the front desk) whose line of smoked meats turns his customers into unwitting cannibals. The movie's got some genuinely creeped-out ideas (a backyard garden of victims, buried up to their necks?), but the execution is pedestrian and the humor pretty square. Onetime cultural icon Wolfman Jack has a few scenes as a TV preacher, for no apparent reason. --Robert Horton
Description
Deranged: Ezra's good at making friends... into home furnishings! Based on the same terrifying story that inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, this hauntingly scary film chronicles the grisly exploits of a rural necrophiliac and murderer! Brace yourself for a "solid horror story" (Variety) that's guaranteed to make you bite your nails... because if you don't, Ezra will!Motel Hell: You really are what you eat with Farmer Vincent's smoked meat in this creepy horror yarn that "packs a punch and goes way beyond mere terror" (Box Office)! Vincent's popular products contain a special ingredient that the psychotic farmer and his sister would literally kill to keep secret in this darkly funny flick that "just might be your cup of meat" (L.A. Herald Examiner).

Description
His depredations inspired immortal horror films like Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The real story may well be worse than any of the imitations. BIOGRAPHY probes the darkest recesses of humanity with an extraordinary portrait of the killer Ed Gein. When investigators were finally led to his farmhouse, they found a scene out of Dante: a freshly killed, decapitated and gutted body hanging by its feet, furniture adorned with human skulls and skin and a cupboard filled with serving pieces made from the remains of his victims. Drawing from Gein's official police and correction records, interviews with people like the supervisor of the institution where he was held and his former neighbors, and clips of the films that immortalized him, this is an unforgettable profile of one of the most disturbing killers in history.

Product Description
Dahmer A butcher. An animal. A monster. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (Jeremy Renner) was vilified when authorities discovered he'd murdered, dismembered, and even tried to consume the bodies of 17 young men in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But is there such a thing as a human monster? Starting somewhere between popular legend and historical fact, Dahmer dares to explore the truth of a man many called an abomination of nature, but who was most decidedly a living, breathing person. Inspired by life events, it takes you into the demented world of this lonely factory worker and examines the ways in which his twisted personal pain led to the most selfdestructive extremes of human cruelty. Ed Gein Based on the true story of America's first famous serial killer. Everyone in small Plainfield, famous serial killer. Everyone in small Plainfield, Wisconsin thought ED was just a little different, a local oddity. But Ed was tormented and haunted by years of family abuse and repression which led to the brutal murders and multilations of countless victims and corpses.
