All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Deranged (1974)

AKA: Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile

Starring: Roberts Blossom
Director: Alan Ormsby, Jeff Gillen

Premise:
A man is taking care of his sick mother who has abused him mentally for years on the evil ways of women. Eventually she dies. Grieving and lonely, the man digs up her body to bring home. Then he starts killing women to put his mother back together.

My Take:
While this might have been some what shocking nearly forty years ago, it is very tame by today's standards. The only thing that kept me interested the lead character's performance.
The movie is based off the serial killer Ed Gein.

Rating: Warning
