Landscape Suicide (1986) [Ed Gein]

https://www.programmedtokill.net/ed-gein Landscape Suicide is a 1987 American crime and drama film directed and produced by James Benning. The film stars Rhonda Bell and Elion Sucher in the lead roles. Prior to the release of Landscape Suicide, Benning had already built a reputation for his exceedingly long, stationary camera shots of landscapes and industrial scenes. Landscape Suicide sought to combine his structuralist approach with documentary filmmaking. The film recounts and parallels two murders that took place 30 years apart. The first half of the film is based on the murder of Kirsten Costas, who was stabbed by her high-school friend Bernadette Protti in Northern California in early 1984. The second half is devoted to the infamous homicides and taxidermies committed by Ed Gein in Wisconsin in the 1950s.
