R.I.P. Eddie Zigo

I saw an obituary a couple of days ago announcing that Ed Zigo (portrayed by Martin Sheen in this film), passed away in mid-January, over a month prior.

I always liked Sheen's performance in this film, not that it was staggering, just that it was believable and just, very well done. Made me feel like I knew the real Ed Zigo.

Rest in peace Mr Zigo, job well doene on your part too in capturing that monster from over a third of a century ago.

I'm very sorry to hear that Mr. Zigo has passed away, but he leaves a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Martin Sheen did an amazing job in the role, capturing the pain and passion of Zigo. This film is a bit thin outside of Sheen's characterization, but what a performance it is! 7/10 stars from me.
