You can't look away, even if you sincerely want to:
There's no better way to describe the full-length trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the upcoming season of the Netflix crime anthology series. Netflix is set to pull back the curtain on the serial killer and grave robber with co-creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan on October 3.
Keep reading to find out everything that the official trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story revealed about the upcoming release.
The official trailer for Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story forces its viewers to look inside
A teaser released a few weeks ago featured the police investigators stepping into Gein's house of horrors, but this time around, the trailer is an unflinching look at Gein's crimes and why he committed them, while exploring the world's obsession with these stories.
The official trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story features Hunnam's Gein murdering multiple women and then using their skin to make masks and other household items. It offers glimpses into the overarching question that the series hopes to explore: whether monsters are born or made?
We get a look at Hunnam's portrayal of Gein, who reveals he extensively studied every available material on the man to understand and adapt him and his mannerisms. Gein's only human contact in the world was his mother, who, in the trailer, tells him:
"Eddie, you're a mess. Only a mother could love you."
The unhealthy relationship between Gein and his mother is more than apparent in the trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story, and Hunnam explains that a lot of what Gein becomes was driven by his need to make his mother, who wanted a daughter, love him. Hunnam says:
"It was what Ed thought that his mother wanted him to be. As she was really his only human contact in the world, he developed this thing to try and make her love him."
The trailer also offers an unflinching look at some of the most horrific proclivities of Gein, from committing murders to actually putting on a mask made out of a woman's skin and her clothes and dancing around in it.
The previous teaser for this series listed some of the culturally defining films on killers, such as Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which were all, in one way or another, inspired by Ed Gein's story. Tom Hollander's Alfred Hitchcock is spotted in the Monster: The Ed Gein Story trailer.
In a conversation with Tudum, Ian Brennan explains that the series also tries to focus on the way Gein has been extremely influential to Hollywood:
"It’s really mind-blowing how influential one strange man in the middle of Wisconsin in a barn can be. That’s just the world we live in, that he lit this fuse that just continued popping off and set in motion this continuous topping of really intense, bizarre, strange imagery. I can’t think of another person who is really that influential to a genre of television and film."
The trailer ends with Charlie Hunnam's Gein breaking the fourth wall and speaking straight into the camera, saying:
"You're the one who can't look away."
