Plot: Based on the true crime story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, this movie tells the emotionally riveting story of a man who turned his darkest fantasies into a horrifying reality.
Totally creepy and terrifying.
Surprisingly, more than the normal exploitation film. Tries (didn't work on me) t even make Dahmer a little symphatic to the viewer.
Course, it ultimately makes me even more glad that he's dead now.
Definititely worth a watch if you can DVR it off TV like we didi.
Jeremy Renner would be the only reason to watch this.. Fantastic actor..but not really interested in re-living that era in news.
Why would anyone want to see inside of any sick Fucks mind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????
Pretty good movie about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer who killed 17 men between 1989 and 1991. The acting is good, but the movie is slow at parts and not much happens. The movie also leaves out a lot of things about Dahmer (the cannibalism and how he tries to make zombies are good examples) that could have made the movie even more interesting. The ending will leave you pretty angry.
I know this film left out alot of key points about the actual story but I have to say Jeremy Renner (playing Jeffrey Dahmer) successfully managed to scare the shit out of me and played his part so well it was almost creepy. It was really frightning watching a true psychological horror flick rather than one that just focused on gore - terrifying to think this was based on a true story.
Possibly one of the sickest films of it's genre, covering the facts of the true life story of the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Interms of the actual film it was pretty porrly acted and even felt a bit dated.
You may find a strong stomach will help you on this one, purely because it's related to true events, but it's certainly not for everyone.
Film inspired by the true story of horrific predator Jeffrey Dahmer. Generally accurate, but sometimes not at all. I felt disappointed when I realize that his experiments on zombie creation, preservation of body parts and Death adoration, were completely forgotten. How can that be put aside...? Even so, it's an interesting insight on his psychotic mind, emotions, growing urges and compulsions. One witnesses the rise and....and the end of the movie is terrible. A complete sensation of insufficiency. Although it has a deranged atmosphere all along - Dahmer's incarnations is acceptable - the big difficulty when portraiting this kind of beasts, is that films are never close enough to the horrid reality of facts. Believe me, the truth about the murderer rapist necrophiliac cannibal infamous Jeffrey Dahmer, is far more uglier.
It shows the real guy behind the bad one and what he went through in his life before his very bad decisions in life.
David Jacobson has a lot of potential. Same goes for Jeremy Renner. Hard to watch, hard to sympathize with Dahmer, but it somehow works without going too far.
Wow I didnt know there is a Movie on Dahmer. Must see it. Since many Flixterers have rated it more then 3. Well have to find it first.
"Dahmer" tries to tell one of the most horrific stories of recent years. But the whole story of Jeffrey Dahmer does not get told in this movie. There are some shocking moments, but most of the movie gets bogged down in flashbacks (and even flashbacks-within-flashbacks). At some points, you cannot tell if you're watching another flashback or the present moment in the story.
The performances are good all-around. Jeremy Renner does an incredible job at playing Dahmer, expressing a laundry list of emotions with his face and body language alone.I think you'll find it dull if you are looking for blood and gore but Dahmer wasn't one of those kind of killers, he killed for company, not blood lust.
There was something really beautiful about this film. As "disturbing" as the content was. I think it was good, because it didn't glorify the violence, or let the violence and the acts themselves become the main focus. And it wasn't one of those failed "introspective" looks into the mind and life of a killer, it felt "real" to me, well as real as I'd perceive someone like him to have been
cudda been better...but I liked it..Hell he did it all in my home town...now talk bout being from a famous place eh?..lol
If you dont know who dahmer is and dont feel like reading about him or simply arent interested watch this movie and see how much of a freak he was.
It was pretty good. But since it began with the statement, "Some events and characters are fictional," it really made me wonder what was real and what was not.
I studied him in psychology. He interests me...in a very creepy way. As a future psychologist I'd love to see this.
A really good film about serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. The film has a great slow paced film about the killer. Jeremy Renner portrayed Dahmer really good. Bruce Davison is superb as Jeffrey's father, Lionel.
A lot of people seem to hate this movie, but I found it to be an interesting take on a notorious serial killer
The real story about Jeffrey was a lot more scarier than the way the director put it on screen. It was not scary at all and the movie was very slow, sometimes even boring. I saw other and far better directed movies about real-time serial killers. The actors' performances were good, though.
oooh the true story of a psycho. i've been tring to see this for a while but people think i'm strange becuase of it.
This movie was amazing. I think it really captured the thoughts and feelings of Jeffrey Dahmer to the best of its ability. Jeremy Renner's portrayal of Jeffrey was breathtaking, and even the remsemblance is amazing. Definitely a movie worth seeing.
Just saw this movie last night. Pretty sickening. Ok so this movie isn't all about blood and gore. It's about the mind of a serial killer. It can be a bit slow at times. But If u like movies about serial killers then this is a good one. Mostly about his homosexual affairs and only shows three of his victims. Good acting from the guy who plays Dahmer. If u like this one watch "Gacy" and also "Ted Bundy"
pretty disturbing... but i don't think the movie did Jeffrey justice. He was sadistic and sick... they should have done a better job making that clear.
One big star for Jeremy Renner's intensity in this role. Considering the kind of person Dahmer was, this is a little too artful an attempt to bring us the "real" Jeffrey Dahmer. Do we really need to feel any kind of sympathy for him? His personal history truly pales compared to the results of his complusion.I've worked with many people who had terrible childhoods and terrible family situations. They don't all end up like Dahmer Sympathy? If anything, I sympathize with the inmate who finally put Dahmer out of our misery.
I found this film to be unintentionally funny, which is weird considering the story it is telling. I should probably view it again sometime to see if it still has the same effect on me.
