9 d. ago Strange Harvest review – lurid horror expertly disguised as true crime

Stuart Ortiz’s convincingly faked crime documentary details the hunt for a Los Angeles serial killer dubbed Mr ShinyFor its first few minutes, this comes on like a standard true crime documentary: establishing shots of the Greater Los Angeles area, talking heads introduce themselves as police officers and friends of the victims, and we zoom in on a handwritten list of names until one particular name fills the screen. All the tricks of the trade are here, and director Stuart Ortiz plays things more or less straight. In fact it’s a mockumentary: not a parody but instead a horror movie that happens to be told using the format of a true crime documentary.The story, about a masked killer called Mr Shiny (if you think this name strains credibility, don’t forget there are real serial killers nicknamed the Happy Face Killer, the Dating Game Killer and the Doodler), is functional enough. There are lurid details of the killings, and police officers talking about how the crimes were beyond bel...

3 w. ago Netflix’s monstrous Ed Gein series is lurid exploitation dressed up as a serious drama | Richard Lawson

Ryan Murphy’s questionable universe of serial killer tales reaches its lowest point with a morally dubious look at a grave-robbing murdererThough the first season of the anthology series Monster, produced for Netflix by Ryan Murphy, had its lurid aspects – a hunky, lustily filmed Jeffery Dahmer (Evan Peters) doing wicked things in the night – it did, admirably, try to focus as much attention on the victims of Wisconsin’s most notorious serial killer as it did on the man doing the murdering. Season two of the series turned away from that drab gloom and focused, with at least some sensitivity, on the sensational trials of the Menendez Brothers in sunny California.Season three, the Ed Gein Story, returns to midwest murk and, especially in its early episodes, makes far less of an effort to do anything other than grimly titillate. The show’s thesis makes some sense: Ed Gein, who murdered at least two people and stole the bodies of many more from their graves, was an object of intense fas...
