To tie into our coverage of Mindhunter on Patreon, we're discussing fictional adaptations of the killers interviewed on the series.

First up: director Chad Ferrin's Ed Kemper (2025) which shares a screenwriter with 2000's Ed Gein in Stephen Johnston.

Sadly this plays like a lazy, salacious cash-grab. Despite a committed performance by lead Brandon Kirk, there's not much to recommend here.
