Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine.“There is a wonderfully diseased invention evident throughout Deranged. Camerawork, editing and production design all complement the combination of sinister, gritty horror and cringe-inducing dark humour.” John Costello, This Is Horror
In the pantheon of gutbucket horror, no real-life figure looms larger than Ed Gein, the Wisconsin handyman whose noxious choice of home decor labeled him a legend. Despite having inspired three of the most infamous horror films ever made—Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs—Ed’s story was most faithfully captured in this no-budget B-flick from the hinterlands of nowhere. Following Gein surrogate Ezra Cobb (played to creepy perfection by Roberts Blossom, in his only starring role), Deranged follows the actual narrative as closely as it can, while leaving room for the requisite damsels in distress. Featuring early effects work from Tom Savini, the film’s hand-hewn quality breathes ghoulish life into the genuine nastiness of the whole ordeal.
