    Wow! LAME. Their budget couldn't have been more than fifty bucks! And half the shit in this film never even happened. What a waste of time! If Jeffrey were alive, I'm sure he'd hack up everyone involved in this epic disaster of a movie.

    This was a terrible movie. It looks like it was made in the 90's, like early 90's. Please stay away from this. Just read online and you will get the same effects as this movie.

    Sort of uncomfortable to take this personal look through their eyes. No horror like I had hoped.The play for sympathy of the family is a little too heavy. That man needed help before it ever got so far! What a mess! His family turned a blind eye, and the world paid! I am not so...( read more) sure how we are to know it happened this way.

    A look at the Dahmer story through the eyes of his parents. I thought this movie was done very well. No excitement or Horror like in the movie "Dahmer", just straight up Drama. Dahmer is one of my favourite serial killers so maybe I am a little biased since this movie is relative...( read more)ly boring, but I enjoyed it.

    i'm really happy to be able to give a movie half a star, I mean the fact that I could sit through this movie which was a PITY PARTY probably written by his father, stating 'DONT BLAME ME OK IM SO SORRY' but didnt give much context as to who Jeff was opposed to some incidents that...( read more) occurred when he was younger. the bottom line is that his dad was a complete DUMBASS. this is the kind of movie you watch to strictly laugh at the entire time. i'm not even fascinated i the whole 'serial killer' phenomena, just happened to be hanging with some people who were.
    oh, and how could I forget? the acting was dreadfulll

    This was a different approach to describing how Jeffrey came to be. It was a bit interesting but it left out alot of details.

    This movie totally sucked. I was bored the whole time, hoping it was get better. The only good part about it was when it was over!

    it was a decent movie.. they tried to have little cut scenes intended to scare ppl but all it did waz just annoy me .... they really didn't get into much detail about it.. .. just some very very very very very basic knowledge
