US EditionOsgood Perkins Slams ‘Monster’ For “Netflix-ization Of Real Pain” After Father Anthony Perkins’ Depiction
Osgood Perkins condemns the Netflix series for glamorizing true crime and distorting his father Anthony Perkins' identity, highlighting concerns about authenticity in entertainment.
- Earlier this month millions tuned in to Monster: The Ed Gein Story on Netflix, but acclaimed horror director Osgood Perkins told TMZ he `wouldn't watch it with a 10-foot pole`.
- Speaking to TMZ, Perkins argued streaming platforms turn true crime into `glamorous and meaningful content` and warned the `Netflix-ization of real pain` is misguided, reshaping culture in real time.
- In the second episode, Joey Pollari's portrayal of Anthony Perkins shows a secret relationship with Tab Hunter and suggests conversion therapy, while in real life Perkins never publicly opened up about his sexuality.
- Experts and family critics said Harold Schechter called much of the show fabricated, while Perkins urged protecting truth and `peering behind the veil into the unknowable`.
- The season mixes Ed Gein's story with its influence on films like Psycho, and Ryan Murphy is already planning a Lizzie Borden season for his true-crime anthology.
