Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield is a 2007 U.S.-American direct-to-video horror film starring Kane Hodder, Adrienne Frantz, Michael Berryman, Priscilla Barnes and Shawn Hoffman. It is based on the crimes of serial killer Ed Gein.[1]

Synopsis

In the late 1950s, a quiet small town in rural central Wisconsin is rocked by a series of grave robberies and two gory murders, committed by a man who has descended into insanity.[2]

Plot

It is based on the true story of Ed Gein, who skinned, disembowled, and dissected his victims. As a child, he was traumatized by his mother, a religious fanatic who taught him that sex was evil and that all women, herself excluded, were sinful.

When he kidnapped 58-year-old Bernice Worden, the police came to Gein's farmhouse and found her dismembered and disemboweled corpse, as well as parts of at least 15 other corpses.

The movie plot centers on Gein kidnapping and slaughtering Vera Mason, the mother of Bobby Mason, a sheriff's deputy, and his girlfriend. The ensuing action focuses on the race to catch her, before its too late. These later events are dramatic fictions.
