The movie is both cathartic and enlightening because it shows how the lack of love, kindness and acceptance creates so much evil and violence in Dahmer. The actors give believable screen performances, with Ross Lynch particularly exceptional as Jeffrey Dahmer. MY FRIEND DAHMER is well made, with subtle direction by Marc Meyers.
This isolation helps transform Jeffrey into one of the most vile, repugnant serial killers of all time. Eventually, he’s abandoned by his family and friends. As his home and social life become more degenerate and his obsession progresses, Jeffrey begins to torture and kill animals. He begins collecting road kill animals to dissolve in acid. Jeffrey is a “misfit” from a dysfunctional family, who becomes fascinated with violence.
MY FRIEND DAHMER is a tragic, horrific movie about the notorious serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer.
