The original to me felt like a documentary the entire time I watched it. I think that this is why I was so moved, and disturbed by it the first time I watched it. It felt like it was real... The first time I watched it, I HATED it, I thought it was disturbing, and disgusting, and I HATED it, but the more I thought about it, the more impressed I was with the filmmaker\'s ability to make me THAT disgusted, and THAT disturbed... After that, I was hooked...
I could have sworn Ed Gien ate some of his victims... Maybe I\'m getting him mixed up with Dahmer... I think I am confusing the two... That\'s the most ironic part, that comparatively, Ed Gien only killed two people, and yet he\'s up there with Manson, Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, the big names in serial killing. Very interesting stuff... If I didn\'t get queasy at the sight of real blood, I would be a phorensic pathologist in an instant. But, alas, I like my blood from a bottle, not from a body, so a simple horror fan I shall remain.
Take care, all!!!
