I understand why the Gein series wasn't very liked. It was basically a big academic fuck you to the exploitation critique. Tbh, it was pretty smart on what it wanted to be. It just wasn't what the previous seasons were, and people didn't get what they expected or wanted. m.imdb.com/title/tt1320...

Rewatching boxd.it/24Sk It's been a long time and first time watch for the wife. Fantastic cast even in the small roles. Recognised Scott Grimes immediately. Looks amazing considering the 2M budget. So much explosions. Fun hommages, like the -58 Blob scene. I still love this. #horrorsky
